Olivia's Successful Motion Addressing Refugee Beds
Libby Znaimer is joined by Alex Blumenstein, Co-Founder of The Peak, David Crombie, Former Mayor of Toronto, Karen Stintz, CEO, Variety Village.
Olivia Chow had her first official council meeting as Mayor this week and was able to successfully push a motion forward to open up additional shelter beds for refugees--150 of them. City Council approved the motion unanimously with a 26-0 vote in favour. The federal government announced this week roughly $97 million in funding to help the City of Toronto with supporting refugees. And, it looks like Chow and Premier Doug Ford can work together considering they issued a joint-statement calling on Ottawa to assist refugees and hike its stopgap funding. City Council has also approved a pilot allowing for drinking alcohol at 27 different parks (from Aug. 2 to Oct. 9), and we take a closer look at the City's plans for e-scooters and gas powered leaf blowers.

In the news: a new study published in the Lancet medical journal this week reveals that the use of hearing aids and counselling may contribute to slowing down cognitive decline among Seniors.
