We’ll talk with Kale Brown, Director of Housing and Homelessness at the City of Ottawa, to find out more about housing and homelessness and how it affects residents in Ottawa. Today’s hosts are Sébastien and Shirley.

This is OttaTalk, the official City of Ottawa podcast series where City staff and residents discuss City programs, projects and initiatives. We’ll cover topics that affect your everyday life. Things like emergency services, garbage collection and nightlife in Ottawa. Why do we have a three-item garbage limit? What’s a typical day like for a By-law Enforcement Officer? What does a Nightlife Commissioner do? We have the questions and the answers on OttaTalk.

For now, look forward to a new episode from us each month.
