The Need for a New Event Centre, Rogers - Shaw Deal, Residential RV Parking, and Farming Mars!

We begin with a topic every resident seems to have an opinion on the ‘Event Centre’. Our Dave McIvor took the topic to the street, this time out to hear why Calgarians think the project needs to happen. The massive merger of communications giants Rogers and Shaw is one-step closer to becoming a reality. We speak with Ben Klass, PhD Candidate from Carleton University, for his reaction to this week’s announcement that the Competition Bureau will not ‘block’ the mega-deal. The city is seeking YOUR input regarding RV parking in residential neighbourhoods. We’ll find out why the city is interested in updating the current regulations and hear details on how you can voice your opinion.  Finally, a real ‘out of this world’ topic: agriculture on Mars! We speak with Evan Fraser of the ‘Arrell Food Institute’ at the University of Guelph, on the current plans in place to ‘feed’ future ‘planetary settlers’ and if we can adapt the technology involved to make farming more effective here on earth.
