What do you call a potato who heads downtown to cause trouble? An agi-tater. Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

Have you heard the acronym BIA? Do you know what it stands for? And more importantly, do you know what a BIA does? This week's guest is Kelly Jones, chair of the Welland Downtown BIA, and he shares the work done behind the scenes to assist and enhance businesses in the downtown core. So just listen to the music of the traffic in the city, linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty, and head downtown with us.

It's all fun and games until someone calls HR Mar 31, 2022

Show notes

Human Resources, with an emphasis on resources. Forget what you think you know about HR as the rule keepers, the sticks in the mud, etc., and start thinking of them as your partners, helpers, and wealth of knowledge. In this episode, Brooke Iannuzzelli, HR Coordinator with the City of Welland, joins Marc and Paul to talk about hiring, jobs at the City, and more. And, to top it off, Brooke agrees to field your questions in a future episode about prepping a resume, what to do after an interview, or anything else you may be wondering about in today's world of recruitment.

What did the sink say to the tap? You're a real drip. Mar 23, 2022

Show notes

Water. We drink it, we swim in it, we wash our clothes and dishes with it. But how does it get from the rivers, lakes, and streams to our taps? How does ground or surface water become safe to drink? In this episode, James Sticca, the City of Welland's public works manager, lays out exactly how the process works and what safeguards are in place to ensure the water we consume is safe. Oh, and zebra mussels. Yes, zebra mussels. Though more on the technical side of things, this episode provides excellent comfort in the municipal process of delivering water to our homes and businesses.

Here’s to strong women: May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them. Mar 10, 2022

Show notes

Some conversations are difficult. The subject matter might be uncomfortable. And rather than engage, we may wish to do anything else. But none of those reasons are good enough to sweep critical issues aside or, worse, under the rug. So, as part of our recognition of International Women's Day, Tara hosts Jennifer Gauthier, executive director of Women's Place of South Niagara, to talk about its services and role in Welland.
