In this episode, we delve into the pressing challenges facing Canadian communities like London. With increasing population and rising social issues such as homelessness, hunger, and mental illness, along with fluctuating immigration patterns, lack of productivity and support for small businesses, and longer emergency wait times, our communities are struggling to cope with this new urban reality.
Our federal system, as old as the country itself, grants significant financial power to provincial and federal governments, leaving communities with limited resources. In this episode, London Foodbank Co-Executive Director Glen Pearson joins LSTAR 2025 Chair Dale Marsh to discuss how we all have a role to play in making housing affordable for everyone. Tune in to explore solutions and ways we can contribute to a better future for our communities.
