Episode 46: Climate credibility, limiting lobbying, baked brie, cycling Sundays and exclusive interview with Gail North

In this week's edition, For the Record covers a number of hot topics in New West and beyond. We have an exclusive interview with Gail North, President of the Queen's Park Resident Association. Learn about Gail's experience restoring her heritage home and find out why she is a fixture at city hall every two weeks. "The Way I See It" focuses on the major policy flip flop by Premier David Eby and his NDP government regarding the carbon tax. Special guest Coun. Paul Minhas speculates whether this flip flop will encourage council to take a second look at our own version of the carbon tax - the 3.5% Climate Action Levy imposed on all monthly utility bills in New West. Will Canada Day be in Sapperton next year? How about Queensborough? Council debated a motion to seek feedback from the public regarding whether to move the Canada Day festivities around New West. The motion got approved, but not without a twist! Would you like to be able to safely and easily cycle from the western end of the boardwalk along the Fraser River through to the Brunette Fraser Regional Greenway in Sapperton? How about a pilot project called "Cycling Sundays" that could involve the temporary day-long closure of Front Street next summer. You heard it here first! Did you host a block party this summer and appreciate the fact the fees have been waived due to a NWP motion which got approved in Council? Good news, the fee reduction is now permanent and the issue with securing the proper insurance has also been resolved too.If you enjoyed the podcast, be sure to tell family and friends to follow For the Record.
