In the wake of the latest report from the International panel on climate change, host Joe Pugh speaks with Heather Baitz of the Nanaimo Climate Action Hub, as well as Jeremy Holm, Director of Development Approvals at the City of Nanaimo to find out more about plans to tackle the climate crisis on a local level. Elijah Robinson checks in with Erika Berg, fire information officer of the BC Wildfire Service on the provincial wildfire situation. And finally an interview with Kamal Parmar, Nanaimo’s new Poet Laureate on her role, her style and the genre of Haiku.
