Host: Melissa Bowman

Last week’s episode of the Waterloo Region Weekly Round-up was a bit of a cliff-hanger of sorts as CKMS looked at all of the meetings leading up to Regional Budget Day. This week’s episode dives into that budget meeting and examines where several items ended up, including the much discussed police budget.

This episode also digs into the Housing for All: Rally for Change event hosted by MPP Laura Mae Lindo on Jan. 21.

There's also a couple of quick updates from local council meetings including Kitchener’s two-hour discussion about windows and Waterloo’s transportation master plan.
