For decades, scientists have been warning us about the dangers of climate change. Now, artists around the world are joining the chorus. They've banded together to form the World Weather Network, which combines scientific data with artistic presentation. Liam Gillick is a British-born visual artist who decided to make Fogo Island the focus of his World Weather Network contribution.

Back in March, the Mary March Museum in Grand Falls-Windsor was renamed as the Demasduit Regional Museum, and it's open for a special Come Home Year 2022 season. Maureen Peters, curator with The Rooms, told us about the exhibits currently on display and what visitors can expect this season.

The Park Prescriptions program started in British Columbia in 2020 - and now it has launched in Newfoundland and Labrador.

"What goes up must come down..." That's the saying, but we could be seeing the reverse happening here in Newfoundland and Labrador. Between the years 2016 and 2021, the province's population dropped. But according to recent Statistics Canada data, it MAY be on the way UP again. Rob Greenwood is Director of the Harris Centre at Memorial University, which studies population demographics and public policy.

A law enforcement expert says the RCMP in NL owes everyone a better explanation. Last month, Courtney Pike of Mount Moriah awoke at 5:30 a.m. to find RCMP officers in her home. They had already been in her 11-year-old daughter's room, all without permission. The officers were searching for a 17-year-old girl, who they considered to be at risk and possibly in danger. Following complaints from Pike and her family, RCMP management investigated the incident - and concluded that the officers did nothing wrong. That doesn't hold up to Bruce Pitt Payne, a retired RCMP officer who now works as an instructor and consultant on law enforcement. He spoke with the CBC's Darrell Roberts. The CBC's Darrell Roberts reached him at his home in Maple Ridge, British Columbia, and asked him what was lacking in the police response.

The art world suffered another major loss over the weekend. World-renowned Newfoundland visual artist David Blackwood died Saturday at his home in Ontario at the age of 80.

The CBC's Andrew Hawthorn spoke with Emma Butler of the Emma Butler Gallery in St. John's.

'Pippi' the pony is just a baby...and an adorable one at that. But she's not only cute - she's playing an important role in maintaining part of Newfoundland and Labrador's heritage. Pippi the Newfoundland pony was born on Poppy's Haven Farm in Varna, Ontario. Vanessa Strike is co-owner of the farm.

Very few of us get excited at the thought of smashing up our vehicles. Smash up derby driver Matt Penney of Gander gets excited about destroying his hearse. He's been wrecking vehicles - for fun - for almost 20 years. The CBC's Martin Jones recently met Matt Penney at his home, on a windy day in Gander

Two members of Pride Grand Falls-Windsor told us how they felt when they were told they couldn't walk on a walking trail owned by the town's Salvation Army Park Street Citadel, on the last day of Pride.

A member of a United Church in Grand Falls-Windsor is shocked and concerned by the cancellation of a pride walk that was supposed to happen on a walking trail owned by the Salvation Army Park Street Citadel. The Pride organization says the cancellation happened because the Salvation Army didn't want them on their property. We spoke with Dave Anthony, clerk of session at Memorial United Church.
