The Advocate Podcast – Stories from Kawartha Lakes
Society & Culture
Almost immediately upon entering its present headquarters, Ryan Oliver, knew he’d soon need more space for the constantly growing STEAM education centre, Pinnguaq. It took a few years, but Oliver, Pinnguaq’s CEO, found it – steps away from his home in Lindsay. He tours us through the soon-to-be three-storey headquarters of this national success story, which delivers digital training to youth and adults. Oliver expounds on the renovations, but also on the vision this building’s overhaul will help achieve for Kawartha Lakes and beyond.
We hear lots about the ups and downs of the real estate market – on a national level. But how much of that applies locally? We seek the wisdom of local realtor Chelsea Boyd for the answers. Baseball – and specifically the Jays – has long been special to Sandi Gauder. But it was especially comforting these past three years. She tells us why, leading up to the team’s season opener.
Who doesn’t want to increase their word power? Cuz words are good and stuff. And Lyndsay Heffernan of the KLPL has a good one. So good, in fact, that’s it's Well-Defined. (Hey! That's also the name of one of our show's most popular segments!)
