1. THE CENTENNIAL COME AND GO SHOW:

Boxing Day morning, CBC Regina wraps up the Alberta and Saskatchewan Centennials 
by reviving an old prairie tradition: the come and go social. The Centennial 
Come & Go Show covers the yearlong parties in both provinces through music, talk 
and comedy. Drop in and listen to artists from Joni Mitchell to Corb Lund. Laugh 
at Peter Brown's comedy and learn how transporting clean underwear into a 
disaster zone became an essential part of one couple's centennial celebration. 
Then look forward with host Jennifer Gibson to another big centennial in the 
region: the City of Saskatoon's. It all begins at in most regions 5:30 local 
time (6 NT) and at 4:30 a.m. Eastern on Sirius Channel 137.

5. LOST AND FOUND:

Lost and Found is about the search for things that have left you, and the 
discovery of things you never had.  Today, Lives:  the search for the identity 
of a man whose body was found in a block of ice in the waters off northern New 
Brunswick. A spiritual intuitive who helped find the body of a missing woman in 
Nelson, BC. Award-winning P.E.I. poet John MacKenzie with his poem "John 
Barker's Empty Sky". And a "hactivist" who used his know-how to keep tabs on 
child porn collectors by invading their computers with an invisible Trojan 
virus.  Lost and Found, Boxing Day Monday at noon (12:30 NT) on CBC Radio One.
