8:30 – Sunday is the big day, with Saskatchewan set to drop all of its COVID restrictions. Many are celebrating the news and the progress we’ve made in our fight against the virus, but others are concerned that big gatherings and the absence of preventative measures could lead to further outbreaks and another wave of the pandemic. Whenever public opinion is divided, we put the question to you in one of Gormley’s patented Reality Checks: Do you think Saskatchewan is ready to drop all COVID restrictions? Call 1-877-332-8255 and add your voice to our poll!

12:00 – Saskatoon swimmer Shelby Newkirk will be representing Canada at the Paralympics in Tokyo, which run from Aug. 24 – Sept. 5. Newkirk was diagnosed with dystonia, a neurological condition that affects nerve cells responsible for muscle contractions, but that hasn’t stopped her from setting a dozen Canadian records and a world record in the water. Newkirk joins Gormley to share some of her story, and tell us about what she’s expecting at the 2020 Games.
