Freshet Friday - August 7, 2026

In this week's episode, host Geof Wheelwright and the Freshet News team look at the growing roster of candidates for this fall's civic election, why rookie MP Jake Sawatsky is introducing a bill to create a national suicide prevention strategy to replace Canada’s current 12-point action plan, why New Westminster is receiving more than $1 million in federal funding for gun and gang violence prevention and how the Port Moody park investment mystery was solved.  And we have much more, including our regular sports, arts, what's on and Freshet 9-1-1 features.
