Did you know the Region has a podcast? We promise you’ll learn something new!
Each month on Your Region Pod, Sherry and Sam dive into the questions that you’ve been meaning to ask. We understand the idea of a municipal podcast might not top your list of download options, but we promise to always be informative and entertaining. Our purpose is to give you a peek behind the scenes and shine a light on the services you use everyday.
You may have wondered “Why does my water taste like this?”. Well, we’ve got answers for you, and we even found a Water Sommelier to help us out. To answer your next question: Yes, there is such a thing as a Water Sommelier.
In our episode: “What goes into my Commute?” we show you the complex choreography that is required to transport us all across the region. Find out how ION runs on time and discover what it takes to coordinate more than 26 million trips a year. We’ll also introduce you to the fascinating group of people at Grand River Transit, and Keolis Grand River who make it all happen.
Did you know that the Region provides a music therapy program for those in our community living with dementia? In our episode, “Dementia and the Power of Song,” we take you to Sunnyside Home and Community Housing, and introduce you to the musician who developed the program and some of the thinking behind it. You will also meet some inspirational singers who show us how music enriches their lives.
So check out the podcast, and don’t be afraid to engage us on social media with your ideas. We’d love to know what you want us to dig into next on Your Region Pod.
