Peterborough Politics Podcast - Episode 03 - Don't Have a CAO, Man

Author: Arthur Newspaper March 8, 2023 Duration: 1:09:44

Episode 3! We're getting the hang of things! In this episode, we talk about the passing of Jack Doris, the former Mayor and Councillor of Peterborough, before digging into a substantial conversation about City Council hiring a new CAO (Chief Administrative Officer). We also discuss the City of Peterborough's rescinding of the vaccination policy, Councillor Alex Bierk's motion in Support Bill 5, the relationship between former mayor Diane Therrien and outgoing CAO Sandra Clancy, and an update about Primary Physicians and Walk-In Clinics. We also had a little chat about how difficult it is to access information about local politics before finally answering some great questions from chatters and tweeters. Thanks for Listening!
