Episode 227: So You Wanna Be A City Councilor

In this episode of Breezy Breakfast, we're talking about the Ward 6 vacancy at Guelph City Council, and the decision to opt for an appointment rather than election.  Guelph Politico’s Adam Donaldson walks us through the context of this rare mid-term appointment and offers his perspective on the most important issues facing Ward 6.  Adam is joined by current Ward 4 councilor Linda Busuttil and Ward 1 councilor Erin Caton and hosted by Breezy's own, Ward 3 councilor Phil Allt.  These councilors share their thoughts on what they believe an ideal candidate should bring to the table, from experience and community engagement, to character and vision.  Listen in for all the details.
