Well, we're back after our break for the holidays and they couldn't be more glad that we record the show indoors because Your Neck of the Woods has been dropped in the deep-freeze the last couple of weeks. For our first show back, Jason and I had the pleasure of chatting with a once political rival in the form of Ward 1 Councillor Sonya Sharp. Sonya graciously took some time to come on the show and talk about what her priorities have been in serving as your Councillor up here in Northwest Calgary as well as to give some great insight into the biggest civic story right now, the termination of the Event Centre project which happened to occur over our holiday break.I must say what a refreshing change of pace it is to have someone representing us who makes being open and honest and human such a big priority. This is something I was aching to see and I know many of you listening were as well. In addition, Ward 1 is going to be receiving some additional traffic signals to promote road safety, so far, I must say I'm fairly impressed. From local priorities we move on to the big news of the day here in Calgary the arena we have discussed so much on the show will no longer be happening in the form that was presented, that is despite being weeks away from construction beginning. While Calgary Sports and Entertainment were the ones to officially terminate the deal; to call administration and the Mayor's new asks to approve the project strange would be an understatement, they were the proverbial mouse given a cookie asking for far more than their glass of milk. Then the lacklustre efforts it would seem from the timeline given by Councillor Sharp tell me that one side, the other, or both were merely getting cold feet and looking for the nearest unlocked fire door. Council is meeting on Tuesday to hopefully give us some answers although given the city's habit of keeping this kind of information in the black hole that is the in-camera session we may never know. As far as the future of the project many council members like Sonya seem to be largely in the dark as we are except for the fact that city officials have said they are searching for a new partner to continue the project. Needless to say, all three of us share skepticism that as reliable and financially available a partner could be found. Wiser words were never spoken then the words we'll see.On the lighter side this week the conversation not only turned to holiday plans which on the whole were scaled back in no small part due to the Hoth-like temperatures were currently experiencing as well as continued frustrations from Covid 19 but also to Sonya's journey from the University of Lethbridge through the building industry, to her time as a lifeguard, to city administration and small business owner, to Council itself. Needless to say, an interesting path already with some absolutely entertaining anecdotes from Councillor Sharp's time in university. An absolutely fantastic conversation from somebody not only representing Your Neck of the Woods but who grew up here as well. Many thanks from a fellow St. Francis Brown and fellow ULeth Pronghorn. We definitely look forward to having you on the show again.You can follow Sonya Sharp on social media @SonyaSharpYYC to follow updates from city Council and Ward 1 as well as community events and projects.

We begin with a look at the announcement that came down late Wednesday afternoon that the Calgary Sport and Entertainment Corporation has pulled the plug on the much anticipated arena deal. We get reaction from Mayor Jyoti Gondek. Next, we break down the new COVID-19 restrictions outlined by the Provincial government on Wednesday that take effect starting on Christmas Eve Day. We speak with Ernie Tsu, President of the Alberta Hospitality Association on what ‘impact' the new protocols will have on Calgary restaurants and pubs during the holiday season. Then, we ‘flip through the pages' of the most popular reads of 2021 according to the Calgary Public Library. We get an inside ‘glimpse' of the most borrowed books from Stephen Gibbs, “Selector in Collections” from the Library. Finally, in our final installment in our series on “family dynamics” during the Holiday Season Parenting Expert Julie Freedman Smith explains the importance of ‘alone time' even when you have out of town guests staying with you. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Last night we got the news that the Calgary Flames organization has pulled out on the new Event Centre deal. Why did this happen and what does the future hold? With insight into the deal, we were joined this morning by Mayor Jyoti Gondek. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you want an update on what's happening in your city, you go to the top! Mayor Jyoti Gondek joined the show this morning to discuss her meeting yesterday with the Municipal Affairs Minister, as well as giving an update on the planned Event Centre and tax talks. The massive flooding and damage in BC can be tied to a devastating "atmospheric river" according to experts. But what is this phenomenon, and could we see more of the same in the future?  Dr. John Clague, Emeritus Professor of Earth Sciences at Simon Fraser University joined the show to talk about all the factors contributing to this ‘perfect storm'. Every Friday we update the state of affairs south of the border. Today we talk to Global News Washington Bureau Chief Jackson Proskow about, among other things, the summit between the leaders of Canada, Mexico and the US, from the perspective of President Joe Biden. And on Friday's we like to give you options! We check in with Brett Megarry, Host of the Couch Potatoes, to find out about what's new to watch on the big and small screen this weekend!

If there are 2 things I've emphasized on Your Neck of the Woods they are being a conduit for citizens and that if you vote for the same type of candidate you get the same results. My guest in this episode, Calgary mayoral candidate Brad Field would wholeheartedly agree! Jason and I chat with Brad about a wide range of 2021 election issues. For starters, the daunting task of running against what; at the time of recording, is a 26 candidate field (pun intended) featuring 3 current city Council members. Not only does he echo my sentiments about fresh blood but shares stories from his business experience to back them up. Field believes this business experience and a new approach to the city budget make him the man to lead our economic recovery.Alongside show favourites like the Green Line and Event Centre, we also have a refreshing conversation on making it less expensive to park downtown since we're in the process of revitalizing it. Supporting our traditional energy industry while at the same time attracting industries we're well-positioned for, and making Calgary a destination instead of a stopover. The mayoral race will mean a great deal to Your Neck of the Woods!

This week on Your Neck of the Woods Jason and I have the pleasure and privilege of chatting with a former candidate for Ward 1 in 2010 and 2013 Chris Harper! Now working in the private sector Chris has a unique perspective seeing politics through the lens of both former candidates and private sector consultants. The three of us discuss what the selection will mean for the future of Calgary as even though change is discussed every election cycle it's not every election that a majority of council seats are open. In addition to the usual topics, we've been discussing on the show this episode definitely has a strong land-use flavour.Land use may not be of the sexiest topic especially when compared to the Event Centre, Green Line or the ever-present in much talked about property taxes all of which we have discussed at length however land-use affects how you and your neighbours experience the communities you live in and ultimately what our future city will look like, especially since the Land-Use Bylaw will be one of the first major orders of business before the new council that will hopefully include yours truly. Another less talked about but extremely important issue that will arise from this election is that of transition, I would hope that like myself my perspective colleagues are studying the current Land-Use Bylaw, Municipal Government Act, and local authorities elections act because after election day you only get about one week of designated transition time and any further time and information hopefully come from the outgoing counsellor which as you can imagine can lead to some contentious relationships.The role of the Mayor also comes up this episode; despite the Mayor's prevalence in media coverage, the actual role of the office is much less significant than people might think this is because the Mayor outside of chairing a number of Council and committee meetings has, for the most part, the same responsibility and powers of the other 14 councillors. I seldom talked about the idea would be to have a separate position much like the Speaker of the House federally to take over these chairing duties. It was an absolute pleasure to have Chris as part of the conversation and we also have some laughs swapping stories from the campaign trail and Chris gives some advice regarding researching candidates to represent Your Neck of the Woods!

Our co-host returns to Your Neck of the Woods this week, good thing too because there's so much going on in Calgary! In this episode, we chat about the recent Green Line approval, updates and controversy regarding the Events Centre, and city councillors changing their minds and running for different offices. Things are moving fast and changing every single day.The budget for the Events Centre has risen to put the project in doubt for the time being once again largely behind closed doors, we've finally reached the point where the rubber meets the road on the massive Green Line project, behind the photo ops and speeches did we do this the right way? Finally, with a couple of councillors leaving for perceived greener pastures we discuss what that says to you the constituents and what I think the role of a potential councillor SHOULD be. The news we've seen affects how we'll live, work, and play in Your Neck of the Woods! 

When you do a podcast covering politics and current events in a major city you have to be prepared to be flexible. Often the story will take twists and turns that you don't expect. That's why after the planning and urban development committee decided to make major changes with regards to the Guidebook for Great Communities, renaming it the Guide for Local Area Planning and then stripping it of its statutory status we had to cover what these unexpected developments and meant for the future of your neck of the woods both when it came to the future of development and the 2021 election.With the GL AP now off of Council's plate for the foreseeable future, one of the next most important and also controversial projects in your neck of the woods is the Green Line LRT Jason and I discuss the significance of this multi-billion-dollar infrastructure project, its challenges, its successes, failures, and why hit still largely mysterious after several years of planning and partnerships with both the provincial and federal government.Our discussion touches on accessibility, flood mitigation, the best way to move the project forward in conjunction with the province and federal government, as well as what the completion of the project would mean for the future of travel and work in the city. It's also interesting to compare the Green Line project with the Event Centre project with regards to why one has more public visibility than the other. Whether you love or hate these projects one thing is clear, both the GL AP and the Green Line will have a profound impact on what the future looks like in Your Neck of the Woods!

Chances are if you've spent a significant amount of time in Calgary whether you live here or maybe just come for Stampede you probably have memories in the Saddledome. Concerts, comedy shows, and of course major sporting events have been hosted at our arena since 1983. I can tell you some of the best memories I have growing up in Calgary are from events I went to at the Saddledome. Like a lot of us, I was swept up in the magic when the flames made it all the way to the Stanley Cup final in 2004 [and technically won it, just saying] I have seen all three major sports tenants play for championships in the building, while I haven't been to a concert, members of my family have and I have seen Amy Schumer perform at the Saddledome.Like many Calgary residents, however, I also know that major events are becoming fewer and far between at the dome. I can't really blame major performers for skipping our city even if it is in favour of Edmonton when the roof can't hold the proper number of speakers and sound and light equipment in a snowstorm in Canada. For a long time, I didn't think I'd have to talk about the movement to replace the Saddledome as part of the show after all the papers were signed before we recorded the first episode. One of the interesting things about doing a current events podcast is that you have to be flexible.With the recent developments and delays in the Event Centre project as well as some revelations coming out recently about hidden costs potentially to taxpayers within the agreement, I felt like it was necessary to have a conversation about the Event Centre. Today, Jason and I will cover a brief history of the effort to replace the Saddledome, cover what exactly is in the agreements that were signed in 2019, a public benefit for taxpayer dollars, and whether with Covid, the economic climate, and these current delays we can still afford that this project. Let's dive into the effort to bring big events back to Your Neck of the Woods!
