This month’s guest on the podcast is Mark Menean, a blogger at Sault Online.
Mark tackles urban planning issues from the perspective of a local builder, bringing with him some relevant insights from other communities. He’s often pitching new ideas that can inform local policy, and his passion for enriching the community is clear.
