Common Ground YYC – S2E2: Kate Thompson, CMLC

Support LWC on Patreon

Kate Thompson took charge of the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation late last year, as previous CEO Michael Brown left the post.

In this conversation with Silvia Pikal, co-host of the Common Ground YYC podcast and editor at New Forum Magazine, the two talk about the path that led Thompson to the CMLC and what might change with her vision of where the city-owned development organization will go.

Of course, they cover recent developments on the Event Centre front and work that’s already underway on 17 Avenue and with the BMO Expansion.
