Episode Notes On Sunday, a citizens’ assembly gave people living in the Plateau the chance to speak to, and hear from, the people vying to represent them in November’s municipal elections. Organized by the Milton Parc Citizens’ Committee (CCMP) and the Ateliers d’Éducation Populaire du Plateau (AEPP), the event featured an open mic as well as discussion tables for citizens. Community groups were also there, telling passersby about some of the hyper-local ways Plateau residents could get involved. Organizers told CKUT they hoped to give people an accessible way to learn and make a change.
