Tree Canopies, Safe Speeds, and a Council Seat
About this episode
Emma Durand-Wood discusses her unexpected journey into public office and her community initiatives in Winnipeg.
Emma Durand-Wood never planned on public office. But what began as challenging a pawn shop, planting trees, and pushing for safer speeds in her Winnipeg neighborhood grew into coalitions and, eventually, a successful run for local office. She talks about stepping into the role, facing the information fire hose, and keeping family and community at the center.
