2. THE CURRENT:
Today on The Current… a 17-year-old boy from Coral Harbour, Nunavut
was saved earlier this week - after being stranded for three days on
an ice floe about 50 metres square. But even though the mission was
successful, it’s drawn attention to the lack of official search and
rescue operations throughout Canada's north. This morning, host Anna
Maria Tremonti looks at the call for search and rescue bases in the
Arctic…and finds out why individuals and northern security are at risk
without them.
