20 minutes

WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR WEDNESDAY, DEC. 11TH

‘Communities First' is its name…and it’s a new group made up of a handful of Calgary city Councilors who want to, as they describe, “restore confidence in Calgary City Hall”. We learn more about the group from one of its founding members, Ward 1 Councilor – Sonya Sharp.

Next – the final ‘Bank of Canada’ rate announcement of the year came down on Wednesday morning – and the Bank announced a half-point drop in its key lending rate. So, what’s this move mean for Canadian homeowners – and those looking at getting into the housing market? We discuss with Penelope Graham, Mortgage Expert with RateHub dot ca.

And finally - Canada Sports Hall of Famer, Father David Bauer is being recognized by a local Professor.
