Prof Bruce Interviewed by 6th Sens About LeBreton Flats Development

I spoke recently with 6th Sens founder Graeme Nichols about the two proposals to develop Ottawa’s LeBreton Flats.

You can listen to Graeme’s podcast on sound cloud. To hear my interview skip ahead to 35:19. Here’s the link, https://soundcloud.com/the6thsens/episode4

Here’s what Graeme had to say:

Well, here it is: episode four of The 6th Sens Podcast!

I recorded it sans @creecher1200 (you were missed, dude), but was joined on the show by TSN.ca‘s Travis Yost (@travisyost) and founder and first owner of the Ottawa Senators, Bruce Firestone (@ProfBruce).

With the revelation of the LeBreton’s Flats proposals, it was fitting
to get a little perspective from Bruce on the NCC and how he felt about
each of the two proposals, as well as the possibility of the Senators
developing their west end property or even retrofitting the Canadian
Tire Centre in the event that they lose the bid.

Bruce’s book, ‘Don’t Back Down: The real story behind the founding of
the Ottawa Senators’, has also recently become available in
paperback and can be purchased for $20. That $20 price also includes the
digital e-book version as well, so it’s a pretty damn good deal, so if
you’re  interested in the history of the Ottawa Senators or the
economics driving the sport, buy it now! It can be purchased via Bruce’s
online store.

While you’re doing that online shopping, I also encourage you to take the time and visit our Patreon page to help support and sustain our podcast.

What is Patreon?

It’s a crowdfunding site that allows an audience to help support
content creators whose work you enjoy. Patreon allows you
to support this podcast and cover expenses like registering for a
pro Soundcloud page (allowing us unlimited upload storage space for our
podcasts) while also allowing us to invest in more or better equipment
which will help make this podcast as good as it can be. Right now, my
goal is to fund our SoundCloud page and help recoup the costs of the
investment made to buy our new equipment. It’s a bit of an ambitious
goal, but I think it’s manageable. Also, to those of you who have
already donated, I can’t thank you enough. I’m hoping that in the near
future, we can organize a beer night to watch an out of town game. I’d
also like to set up the rewards program for Patreon to entice more
donations. If anyone has any suggestions for prospective rewards, please
submit them in the comment thread.

If Patreon isn’t your thing, no worries. The podcast is still  free to download. You can subscribe to it via Itunes where if you want to submit a review of the podcasts, that’d be great. You can also access the podcast by streaming it using SoundCloud or by visiting our Patreon page.

Thanks for listening and supporting this blog!
