What's Happening at Sankofa Square

from Fight Back with Libby Znaimer · host Zoomer Podcast Network

TUNE INTO THE TOWN: WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT SANKOFA SQUARE AGAIN  Libby Znaimer is joined by Jon Burnside, City Councillor for Ward 16 (Don Valley East); Daniel Tate, a concerned citizen, taxpayer and Director of IntegrityTO; and former Toronto City Councillor Karen Stintz. Heavy snowfall blanketed the GTA this morning and will continue to do so throughout the day. How was your commute? Do you feel that the City is doing a good job clearing the snow on sidewalks and roads? Meanwhile, we need to revisit the conversation around Toronto's Sankofa Square. It's been reported the corporate bookings of the space have taken a nose dive of close to 70 percent last year. We get into why that is. IT'S NATIONAL BAGEL DAY: TORONTO VS MONTREAL BAGELS Libby Znaimer is joined by David Fisher, President of Gryfe's Bagels And Baked Goods and Elisabeth Morena, the start of the third generation of the Montreal bagel shop St. Viateur. It's National Bagel Day today. To mark the occasion, we've convened an expert panel from Montreal and Toronto to weigh in on what makes for the perfect bagel, and the fascinating origin story behind this popular food. HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF MEN'S SHEDS? HERE ARE THE BENEFITS Libby Znaimer is joined by Brian Sawyer, Outreach and Member Services Manager for Men’s Sheds Canada. Have you ever heard of men's sheds? It's a growing movement that promotes social activity among men and it comes with a host of benefits for one's well-being. Bryan tells us all about it.
