Episode Synopsis "Are There Solutions?: Winnipeg Boldness Project Tackle Child Development in Point Douglas"

In this episode I sit down with Diane Roussin, project manager at Winnipeg Boldness Project, to chat about the work the organization is doing in the Point Douglas neighbourhood in Winnipeg's North End.  Winnipeg Boldness Project is a social innovation process that explores new ideas for addressing early childhood outcomes in Point Douglas. Roussin talks about the crucial role the community plays in identifying and addressing social issues in the neighbourhood and how the project works in the framework of a social lab.  Roussin also chats about the prototypes, or ideas, the community has implemented like the Indigenous Doula Initiative: Pre and Post Pregnancy Care and the Baby Basket initiative.
