In the Small Town Times podcast clip above, Brent Kalinowski, North Bay’s Community Safety and Well-Being planner and strategist joins Small Town Times editor Dave Dale and Between 2 Daves co-host Dave Mendicino to discuss questions that are top of mind for North Bay residents:
- Is Northern Pines and its transitional program helping people live independently?
- Where is the low-barrier shelter component going to go?
- Is the Homeless Hub, recommended out of the DNSSAB homelessness study with a projected $2.6-million price tag, a cure for what ails the city?

In the full-length episode of the podcast, Kalinowski, a former police officer in Saskatchewan also discusses his background and role in North Bay. He said he has long believed there needs to be better community planning to deal with issues upstream before they fester into expensive and difficult-to-mend problems down the road.
