Canada plays Argentina in Copa America | ER closures | How can the arts be saved?

BC Today

It's the biggest match in Canadian men's soccer history tonight: Canada takes on Argentina in the Copa America semi-finals. CBC's The Early Edition show director Laurence Watt takes us to the action. Then, how people in B.C. are affected by recent emergency room closures in rural communities. Our guests are Merritt Mayor Michael Goetz, and Paul Adams, executive director of British Columbia Rural Health Collective. The rise of streaming services and closures during the COVID-19 pandemic have taken a toll on the arts sector. We talk with Heather Redford, executive director, The Cultch, and David Pay, founder and artistic director of Music on Main about adaption, survival and thriving in the performing arts.
