What are organizations doing to address it and what can be done to resolve the underlying causes? Sault Ste Marie Councillor Angela Caputo; Inspector Derek Dewar; executive director of CHADWIC Home Paula Valois; and Stephanie Fetherston, senior director of Algoma Family Services, come together to discuss this serious issue.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two fathers, Brian Sweeney and Dan Jennings, have been at the forefront to raise awareness about intimate partner violence and how tragedies have a ripple effect on communities. In Sault Ste. Marie, they join Steve Paikin to discuss what it has been like to lose a daughter too early in life and the fight they are on to see something change.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Governments across North America keep building and expanding roads. This can have deadly consequences for animals but, potentially, drivers too. One way to manage these risks is by building ecopassages, that help animals get around barriers humans create. This animal overpass near Burwash, Ont., is the first and-for now-only one of its kind in Ontario.In this episode of Living History, we'll get a close look at the Highway 69 animal bridge, learn about the impact it's been having and see other ecopassage styles that you might never notice.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It is unclear how many undocumented immigrants live in Canada. Estimates range from 20,000 up to 500,000. Many of these are youth who were brought to Canada as young children and had no choice in the matter. Youth with precarious status or no status struggle to access public services like health care and education. Who are these undocumented youth, and does our country do enough to protect them? We ask: Sarah Pole, Childhood Arrivals Support & Advocacy (CASA) Program, Director at Justice for Children and Youth Legal Clinic; Akil Augustine, producer and host at MLSE and the Toronto Raptors, formerly undocumented; Arlo Kempf associate professor at Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto; and Stefan Enrique Joseph Kallikaden Youth and Access to Education Coordinator at FCJ Refugee Centre.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
