This episode we were joined by Muckpaloo Ipeelie, Inuit Cultural Consultant and CEO of the Urban Inuit Identity Project. Muckpaloo discusses the desire to reclaim her culture as being the catalyst to launching the business, as well as the hustle that was involved in getting started. We had a big discussion about family and history and what sparks joy - and to our surprise and delight, we got to hear Muckpaloo practice throat singing. Have a listen and enjoy.

This episode we were fortunate enough to be joined by Lauren Jeffrey, Community Program Coordinator at The South Georgian Bay Community Health Centre. Lauren tells us about her role in improving the health of our community through innovative programs and outreach initiatives.

We sure are lucky to have Lauren working in our community and her passion for her work is evident when listening to her speak about it. Enjoy the conversation and tell Lauren "Good job!" for all she's doing when you see her next! (She might be at the links)

Join us as we interview Kicha and Janene of Carnival North! Not only did we learn about the journey Kicha and Hilary embarked upon to bring this wonderful festival to Collingwood, we also learned about Caribbean culture and how important these types of festivals are to its people all over the world. Taylor Swift might even get name-dropped at some point, and you probably won't be able to guess why, so you might as well listen!
