In the latest episode of Inside the Village, Frisco and Scott explore the ‘See You on the Patio’ controversy in Orillia. Editor Dave Dawson and city councillor Ted Emond join us to discuss. Stewart Reynolds became a social-media hit during the pandemic, thanks to his extremely popular Covid comedy videos. We catch up with @brittlestar to see what he’s been up to, and what’s next. And we take a closer look at the largest conservation project in Canadian history with Mike Hendren from the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
