Thursday April 16th, 2020 with Michael Powell
Pandemic Radio, featuring Catherine McKenney and Zach Dayler
I'm back! This week, we'll speak with Councillor Catherine McKenney about her hopes of opening a recreation centre for use by people experience homelessness during the pandemic. With all the usual supports closed or limited in capacity, the city's most vulnerable are facing serious challenges.
We'll also talk with newish Ottawa Markets ED Zach Dayler about what a public market in times of physical distancing looks like.
