Diane Therrien reflects on 2018 election win

During the 2018 municipal election, Peterborough voters cast their ballots and elected in Diane Therrien, who previously served as a city councillor for Town Ward. Peterborough Currents invited Mayor-elect Diane Therrien to join us on our live radio show, broadcast through the facilities of Trent Radio.

Co-hosts Ayesha Barmania and Will Pearson interviewed Therrien and opened the phone lines (with some technical difficulty) for listeners to ask questions.
