Mayor Gondek discusses Rezoning, Inflation vs. Nutrition, and For the Love of Cheese

In a 9-6 vote this week, City Council approved an amended plan for re-zoning in Calgary. We catch up with Mayor Jyoti Gondek for her thoughts on the result following the Public Hearings, which were the longest in City Hall’s History.  Inflation is impacting how we eat, from dining out to what we put in our cart at the grocery store. Should big food companies do more to create healthier food options at an affordable price and what is the ‘incentive’ for these businesses to do so? We tackle the topic with Lana Vanderlee, Canada Research Chair in Healthy Food Policy and Professor of Nutrition at Laval University.   Finally, it’s a “cheesy” way to help the local community! Calgary’s own “Springbank Cheese” has just opened their 5th location and they’re helping feed Calgary kids at the same time! We catch up with Carie Lee and Adrian Watters, Co-owners of Springbank Cheese Company to talk “all things cheese” and, of course, have a ‘nibble’ or two.
