The province will move to green this weekend. Halifax epidemiologist Kevin Wilson says he's not surprised by the move, but he does have some lingering questions. For example - does the province have a plan for contact tracing going forward? Are there triggers that would cause the province to impose restrictions again? We speak with him.

Lingering Questions

When it comes to vaccination rates, Kingsclear First Nation has something to celebrate. 87 per cent of eligible community members have received a first dose, and 86 per cent have received both. We check in with Lisa Stafford, an RN at the Kingsclear health centre, to find out how a collaborative approach proved successful.

Rocks have billions of years of stories to tell, if you take the time to listen. That's what associate producer Miriam LaFontaine learned when she went on a geotour of Fredericton's historical buildings last week. She joins us with more details.

Plenty of people in the province enjoy hiking, but when you're making the leap from day-hiker to multi-day hiker extraordinaire, there's a lot to learn. Outdoors expert Stef Boucher is heading out on the Nepisiguit Mi'kmaq Trail this week. We drop by to talk about preparation.

How are businesses taking the news that all pandemic restrictions will be lifted come Friday? And will they be allowed to ask about the vaccine status of their employees and customers? We speak with David Duplisea with the Saint John Chamber of Commerce.

The fight for progressive voters in New Brunswick - especially in the provincial capital - is heating up ahead of an expected federal election. The CBC's Jacques Poitras will join us for a look into political controversies affecting the Greens and the NPD - both federally and provincially.
