TUNE INTO THE TOWN

Ontario’s municipal election day is October 24th, but eight days of advance voting for Toronto's municipal election begins tomorrow. And with Premier Doug Ford poised to introduce further measures to expedite housing construction…and boost density…immediately after the October 24th municipal elections...what might this mean for municipalities?

Libby Znaimer is joined by Karen Stintz, CEO of Variety Village; Lauren O'Neil, Senior News Editor of BlogTO; and David Crombie, Former Mayor of Toronto, to unpack these issues.

Libby Znaimer is joined by Dr. Brent Mulrooney, Clinical Psychologist and Director of the Centre For Interpersonal Relationships in Toronto; and Dr. Steven Taylor, Professor and Clinical Psychologist in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of British Columbia, and author of The Psychology of Pandemics, to explore the science of gatherings and gratitude.
