Lake Afternoon Drive: Guess who’s worth one billion dollars

Hey Kenora! Caleb here, hope you heard today’s Afternoon Drive. If not, no worries! Here’s a quick recap of what we covered.

The Winnipeg Jets are worth…. $1.3 billion dollars!

We kicked things off with some big hockey news: The Winnipeg Jets are now worth over $1.3 billion. That’s more than some MLB teams! Prairie power, baby!

Speaking of Jets, Alumni are coming to Kenora October 17–18 for a fundraiser supporting kids’ mental health. We talked about why that matters and how you can be part of it.

Local Life & Global Icons

Life is all about balance, and today’s show we balanced what’s happening here in town with what’s going on around the world.

For example, the Rotary Splash Park closes tonight! The city will start winterizing the park tomorrow, so today’s your last chance to get some fun time in. (And the weather is perfect for it! Just mind the wind!)

Also, I gave you a heads up on a local road closure starting Monday.

But there’s life beyond Kenora. We took a moment to reflect on the incredible story of the late Dr. Jane Goodall and why her legacy matters.

Taylor Swift also has a new album coming out. (And a film to accompany it).

As well, Harry Styles just completed a marathon. Good on him, but personally? I’d rather invest in one of those under-the-desk treadmills.

Is Jennifer Aniston Losing Her Hair?

We’ll talk about stress, aging, and why even Rachel from Friends isn’t immune.

And if your stress is up there and you need a weekend away – The Strumbellas (a favourite on 89.5 the Lake!) are playing in Winnipeg in November. If you’re a fan of the Canadian musicians – and who isn’t – then be sure to grab your tickets before they sell out!

Want to join the conversation?

Hope you were able to tune in for another fun show!

And like always, if you’ve got an opinion, share it with me on the TBay Tel Talk & Text Line. Call or text anytime between 2 and 6pm, Monday to Friday!
