Searching for Solutions
As the former mayor of a mid-size Canadian city, I witnessed firsthand the growing social challenges facing communities across North America. Searching for Solutions explores urgent issues like the housing crisis, homelessness, mental health, addiction, and food insecurity and, more importantly, the disruptive ideas that are making a real difference.
Each episode features a guest who helps unpack a problem and points toward practical, proven solutions.
This podcast is for anyone who cares about their community and wants to move from frustration to action at a time when too many people feel powerless to create change.

Dr. Karl Stobbe practiced rural medicine for 20 plus so he understood the concept that medical care needs to find ways to meet people where they are - not the other way around. An accomplished physician, Dr. Stobbe took his years of practice and teaching and built a new medical practice in Niagara that took a team of doctors and nurses into homelessness encampments and shelters to deliver medical care to those who need it the most and who have very limited access to primary medical care. The results have been impactful.
On this episode of Searching for Solutions, Dr. Stobbe talks about the creation of Reach Niagara and how it is become an important part in alleviating the struggles of homelessness. Through the lens of compassionate medical care, Dr. Stobbe and his team are making a real difference in the lives of marginalized people.
