Speaking Municipally is a proud member of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB. This week we talked about SkirtsAfire, "a festival that features the work of women in the arts." It runs from Feb. 27 to March 8 with venues in Old Strathcona, Downtown Edmonton and Alberta Avenue. We also highlighted INVENTURES, the innovation conference hosted by Alberta Innovates that "connects entrepreneurs and startups with venture capitalists, angel investors, service providers and thought leaders." It runs June 3-5 in Calgary.

Speaking Municipally is produced by Taproot Edmonton, a home for curiosity-driven stories about our city, cultivated by the community. In addition to this podcast, Taproot publishes the Council Roundup every week. Sign up to get it delivered by email for free.
