Synopsis of Program # 123:
- The EUREKA FESTIVAL "science here, there, everywhere" being held in Montreal's Quays of the Old Port from Friday June 12 through Sunday June 14. After some technical glitches early on in the show (taber-snack, as bad as the 1st inning of my softball game on Monday evening!) eventually played the interview with communications officer Rejean Lemieux of the CANADIAN SPACE AGENCY in the third segment of the episode with my interview recorder held up to the microphone. The interview was recorded Friday June 12 @ the Eureka Festival where Rejean and other CSA staff were manning a kiosk at the Eureka Festival.
- Also discussed the UNEP (United Nations Environment Program) initiative for WORLD OCEANS DAY on Monday June 9. Concurrently UNEP released a report on MARINE LITTER.

- Web site for Hema-Quebec: http://www.hema-quebec.qc.ca/anglais/index.htm This is the 2nd annual National Blood Donor Week here in Canada from June 8-14. Summer and vacation time can potentially mean a drop off in donors. Not good. It could be yourself or someone close to you that needs a summer blood transfusion. If you are a qualified blood donor do pitch in a pint by giving the most worthy of gifts, the gift of life. I did my 16th blood donation on April 23 @ the Molson's Blood Donor Clinic thus I have to wait the 50-odd days until I can give again. The card they gave me after my previous donation indicated I must wait until June 18 before I can do my 17th blood donation to to Hema-Quebec. Their web site page for National Blood donor Week stated that 1,000 donations a day are needed to meet the demand of hospitals in the Province of Quebec.
