With the new W Network release of Candy Cane Christmas, a Hallmark Christmas movie filmed in Manotick, Scott takes a moment this week to discuss the growing film industry in our region. We talk about movies that have been shot here in the past, the actors who starred in them, and Ottawa's "coming attractions."

Councillor Moffatt discusses this week's City Council meeting. He talks about the various approvals then takes a closer look at the new temporary mask by-law: the Ward boundary review: the soil quality at Fallowfield and Bleeks: and the Integrity Commissioner's Report about an inquiry into the conduct of College Ward Councillor Rick Chiarelli. Council also voted to honour two people for their service to the City, including former Mayor Jackie Holzman who will now have a local bridge named after her in the Kitchissippi Ward.

This week on the podcast, we jump into the Ward Boundary Review. It has been 15 years since the City last reviewed the 23 ward boundaries. In the leadup to the 2022 election, we want to establish new boundaries, and perhaps even new wards. We discuss those options and how they impact communities in across Ottawa.
