Day three of discussing the City Of Ottawa's $60 Billion Climate Change Master Plan, which some councilors are insisting does not exist, while at the same time telling us the costs. Today, a candidate for council, Joseph Ben-Ami, forwarded us a job posting from the City Of Ottawa. The position is for a Project Manager on the Climate Change and Resiliency Team. (See it here: https://jobs-emplois.ottawa.ca/city-jobs/job/Ottawa%2C-ON-ON/726775147/) As one of our listeners/viewers stated, "how do I apply for a job that doesn't exist?" As another pointed out, if Lowell is wrong about this, why isn't anyone at city hall contacting us to set the record straight? Your calls, emails and social media comments make this show what it is! Thanks for listening and for sharing with your circle! Lowell is live weekdays at 2pm ET on www.WBTR.ca and on Facebook, Youtube, Twitch, Twitter and LinkedIn.

Do you remember the disturbing images from the Sandy Hook school shooting in December 2012 after a gunman killed 26 people, including 20 first-grade children? It was traumatic for all of us, but what was it like to live there? Today's guest worked for 20 months on the Newtown Recovery and Resiliency Team.

The aftermath of large-scale tragedy in the US, whether environmental or as a result of violence such as mass shootings, often follows a predictable pattern for the public-at-large. Nothing could be further from the truth though for the impacted community where, in addition to the grief-stricken victims' friends and families, everyone from the first responders and doctors to the local clergy and area leaders, are thrown into uncharted territory. In Healing a Community: Lessons for Recovery after a Large-Scale Trauma, today's special guest Melissa Glaser, MS LPC, the director of the Newtown Recovery and Resiliency Team, and one of the country's preeminent community response and recovery leaders, offers a practical and much-needed guide for local officials, emergency workers, mental health professionals, and anyone else dealing with the daunting task of supporting and healing a community after tragedy and trauma. As the coordinator of Newtown Recovery and Resiliency Team (NRRT), Glaser was tasked to develop a long-term mental health and wellness strategy in the town after a gunman took the lives of twenty children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012. When they began work in the shattered community 18 months after the tragedy, NRRT had no roadmap to follow. But over the course of their tenure, the group developed a set of therapeutic and transferable best practices. Glaser shares all the knowledge and insights they gained from the work in her book, to benefit other communities. Melissa Glaser is a licensed professional counselor who's been providing clinical psychotherapy services for the past 28 years. While maintaining a private practice, Melissa has held an array of positions in the field of psychology including several clinical leadership positions in non-profit organizations and stints in an urban hospital emergency room and an urban city school-based health center.
