Happy 1st Birthday FTR! That’s right, For the Record with Daniel Fontaine has turned one year old this week. How quickly one year flies by when you’re having fun.
That gift wrapped box you see on the table conceals a BIG birthday surprise I’ve left to the end of our podcast. HINT: it has to do with the future of For the Record and where we go from here!
Special guest Coun. Paul Minhas is once again in studio. We also interview Alison Silgardo, CEO for the Seniors Services Society of British Columbia. What issues are New West seniors facing when it comes to accessing housing, support programs and coordinating our new digital world? Are we doing enough to help seniors navigate a complex and challenging labyrinth of government programs and services?
I also have another edition of ‘Council Roundup’ where we discuss the controversial Columbia Square development project at 88th 10th Street near the New West SkyTrain Station. Could it soon become home to 8 towers up to 53 stories high and 7,500 new residents? Is this the right project for Canada’s second most dense city?
The 3.5% Climate Action Levy placed on monthly electrical utility bills as well as the 2025 city budget are also up for discussion.
You’ll also want to listen in to our special “2 years in 20 minutes” segment where both Coun. Paul Minhas and I look back at some of the highlights of our first two years in office.
