Gordie Howe Bridge Opening Today | Jets at Billy Bishop? | Condos for Seniors | Would You Move Into One?
Published 1 month, 2 weeks ago
Description
Mark Towhey hosts the Jerry Agar show today and opens with commentary on the Gordie Howe Bridge, which officially opens to cars today after months of cross‑border controversy and political tension.
Mark then takes calls on the island airport: Do you think there will eventually be jets landing at Billy Bishop Airport?
Next, Mark explores condos for seniors and whether they could help address housing needs. He speaks with Jim Dunn, professor at McMaster University and director of the Canadian Housing Evidence Collaborative, about design, affordability, repurposing existing buildings, and why malls like Cloverdale aren’t using their land for seniors‑oriented housing. Mark then opens the phones: Would you move into a seniors‑focused condo?
