In this episode we catch up on all the happenings around February’s MEGAPHONO conference and showcase, the progress of the Ottawa Music Strategy (which is going to City Council for approval April 11th!) as well as non-traditional venues in the lead-up to cannabis legalisation and JUNO success for Ottawa artists!
