Episode 32: Open Mic!

Saturday Feb 27, 2021
On Thursday, February 18, we came back to the open mic, where Breezy audience members were invited to collaboratively influence the flow of conversation.
In this open mic, we covered a lot of ground. We started with a discourse on remote voting methods, in light of the City Council decision to accept mail-in voting and reject online options (for now), and eventually moved into a long discussion on supportive housing, with contributors outlining the difference between a municipal housing strategy vs. what is possible with larger scales. Other topics touched on include debunking a conspiracy theory, radon gas infiltration, an idea for repurposing land near the Two Rivers for Indigenous interests, and supporting our neighbours who struggle with addictions and isolation.
