THE ZOOMER SQUAD: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CANADIAN DENTAL COVERAGE PROGRAM\n\nLibby Znaimer is joined by Bill VanGorder, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Policy Officer of CARP,\xa0 Anthony Quinn, Chief Community Officer of CARP\xa0 and\xa0 Peter Muggeridge, Managing Editor of Zoomer Magazine.\n\nWe kick things off with a discussion about Ottawa's dental coverage program officially called the "Canadian Dental Care Plan". This month, the program expands to adults 72 years of age and older.\n\nGETTING TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SANKOFA SQUARE NAME CHANGE\n\nLibby Znaimer is joined by Daniel Tate, a concerned citizen, taxpayer and co-organizer of an online petition to reverse the name change of Yonge-Dundas Square, Toronto Councillor Stephen Holyday, Ward 2 Etobicoke Centre, and Councillor Paula Fletcher, Ward 14 Toronto-Danforth.\n\nToday: we take a closer look at just how much it's expected to cost for the renaming of Yonge-Dundas Square to Sankofa Square and how Section 37 will play a role in that. And, a majority of Torontonians don't agree with the name change according to a poll by Liason Strategies.
