From sawdust to song to celebration

This episode explores how Calgarians turn darkness into light.

Tom Loschuk of Trades Guild shows how mentorship and real projects give vulnerable people a second chance in the trades.

Then singer-songwriter & educator Kristen Scott shares the raw heart behind her album, Pages of Us, as she navigates grief, men’s mental health, and healing.

Finally, Culinaire on Location visits Kondattam Indian Kitchen & Bar, where imported décor, regional dishes, and handcrafted cocktails transform dinner into a true celebration.

Why Listen:

You’ll leave with ways to support second-chance career paths, insights on processing loss through honest art, and a new go-to for authentic Indian cuisine in Calgary. It’s a practical inspiration to build resilience personally and as a community.
