Episode 7: Valerie Swinton & Noel Lomer: ReImagine Ottawa, Damian & Amira: In The Streets, Laura Gallant
Description
Today on the show,
We have a special exclusive with Re-imagine Ottawa, they’re doing a lot of work to bring to light the City of Ottawa’s plan to destroy the Experimental Farm. Atleast 600 trees, many of which are close to a 100 years old, and others are species from around the world that scientists have been preserving for decades will all be gone, in order to put a new Mega Hospital in the middle of the city. Why is this a problem ?
Aside from losing the trees, The National Capital Commission had already determined that Tunney’s Pasture was the best site for the Hospital. With existing infrastructure already in place. Raising many questions that are yet to be answered.
Also, earlier this week I got to walk around the Byward Market with our features editor, Amira Benjamin, we talked to the people we met in the streets and we asked them about some of the issues that were affecting them. And Emma Williams is here in conversation with Lauren Gallant, a PhD candidate from the University of Ottawa. Her research involved the collection of fresh bat guano samples from Belize, where she later analyzed the samples to determine their past diets.
