Joe Nickerson (Sidewalk Development)

Saison 1 · Épisode 3

lundi 21 avril 2025 • Durée 35:56

Join me for a chat with Joe Nickerson, from Halifax's coolest development company, Sidewalk. At Sidewalk, Joe and his partner Elliot are all about creating and revitalizing otherwise languishing urban neighbourhoods, as well as giving new life to old concrete buildings instead of building new. In so doing they both help the environment while also preserving the history and character intrinsically found in the cities' older buildings . A really interesting look into what could be a greener development option for us going forward.

Bridgewater's Mayor David Mitchell

Saison 1 · Épisode 2

mercredi 5 mars 2025 • Durée 41:33

Well, what a fabulous guy, and an even better mayor, from all accounts. Join me as I have an open and frank chat with one of the province's most popular mayors. We cover everything from the oh so smart decision to purchase Ford Lightening EV trucks - both financially and in terms of the environment - and go off script to chat about the town's K9 (and no, my Scottish Terrier likely wouldn't be much of an asset to the unit). We finish on an inspiring message from David Mitchell on how we get through our current tough and worrisome times with good old fashioned Canadian grit and fortitude. Thanks for listening and enjoy the show!

The Cautious Climate Optimist - trailer

vendredi 24 janvier 2025 • Durée 01:10

The Cautious Climate Optimist came out of a desire to share conversations with the inspiring individuals behind many of the climate stories we’ve covered in Climate Story Network. In 2025, with Climate Stories Atlantic, we'll be delivering a podcast for more personal and in-depth conversations with some of the people behind the projects helping us reach carbon reduction targets. Our goal is to fight climate anxiety with stories that help foster climate hope, and this podcast aims to continue that important work — all wrapped up in frank and interesting conversations.

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

lundi 23 juin 2025 • Durée 34:02

Today I chat with Eddie Halfyard, a research scientist with a passion for fish, water quality, and removing CO2 from the atmosphere. Nothing short of a miraculous, game-changing, and yes, serendipitous find, is what Halfyard and fellow researcher, Professor Shannon Sterling discovered as they worked to improve water quality for NS salmon. And as with many great discoveries, an unexpected positive offshoot of that initial work changed the game forever...and CarbonRun was born.

Dan Roscoe - harnessing our NS winds

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

jeudi 18 septembre 2025 • Durée 38:40

Today's chat is yet another amazing dive into the myriad possibilities for clean energy optimism in our province. Dan Roscoe of Roswall Dev. joins me to talk all things wind and wind turbines, with all the potential those turbines hold to help get us all using 100 % clean wind energy sooner than you think. The key, he says, is local ownership and distributed generation. And he puts his money where his mouth is, with the 2026-27 launch of his company's largest wind farm to date, in Mersey River, NS - with 33 big, beautiful turbines. Enjoy the show!

Maggy Burns - Ecology Action Centre

jeudi 2 avril 2026 • Durée 35:29

Okay, so this one's long overdue, and in terms of our mandate here at the podcast, of covering good new climate initiatives, the Ecology Action Centre work clicks that box, big time. Maggy Burns, the Centre's Exec. Direc. is a lovely person with an easy manner but a steely spine, it would appear, with regards to what she holds most dear...the natural environment here in Nova Scotia, and the health of not only Nova Scotians, but all living things, and the environment as a whole. And really, shouldn't we all. We chat about the history of the EAC - had no idea it started at Dalhousie - and move on the address more pressing issues. What would we do without them, that's what I wonder, so glad to finally have the chance to chat.
