This archival episode features a 2017 conversation with the late Jim Neill, recorded when this program was still airing as a radio show.

Jim Neill was well known in Kingston, Ontario, for his decades of public service as a teacher, community activist, school board trustee, and Kingston city councillor. In this conversation, Jim reflects on several civic issues facing Kingston at the time, including development proposals along Princess Street, transportation planning, and discussion surrounding the city’s third crossing project.

Recorded nearly nine years before his passing in April 2026, the conversation offers insight into Jim’s thoughtful approach to leadership, community engagement, and municipal politics.

Beyond the local issues discussed, this episode stands as a reminder of the lasting impact that dedicated community-minded individuals can have on the places they serve.
