Mental Health Survey for the Province Launched

Oct 30, 2025 | Regional News

WellNS, a small group of researchers between Nova Scotia Health and Cape Breton University, built a comprehensive mental health survey for the province.

Jenna MacQueen, a research manager with WellNS, said people can find the survey at wellnssurvey.ca

MacQueen said people can fill a survey out for themselves and then there may be some questions about children in the household, with MacQueen noting a lot of the current data doesn’t cover those under the age of 15.  

After the survey wraps up next week, on November 5, MacQueen said they will build a report to share with policy makers and service providers, and make sure the findings are available to the public. At the end of the survey, there is an option to enter to win a prize.

Canadian Radio Awards: 989 XFM Small Market Station of The Year

Broadcast Dialogue has announced the winners of the inaugural Canadian Radio Awards, which we’ve dubbed “The Howards” after our publisher emeritus Howard Christensen.

When Howard, a radio veteran and one of the original Broadcast News anchors, founded Broadcast Dialogue in 1992, he saw a need for both timely delivery of Canadian broadcast industry news, but also recognized the importance of creating a sense of community.

989 XFM is very proud to be the winner of the 2020 Station of Year – Small Market award.
