Peel Matters is an hour long deep dive into everything Peel: from after school programs, to services available to families, to local artists, to policies and issues that affect us on a daily basis. The all star team of hosts bring a wealth of experience of not just organizing and working in Peel but they are all Peel residents. From Tuesday to Friday, 7pm-8pm, join the Peel Matters team: Ryan Gurcharn, Anu Radha Verma, Michelle Bilek, Bill McBain, and Jaya Mootoo-Szypulewski.
