How can smart cities and smart mobility shape the future of urban and rural areas? These and more topics will be discussed in the upcoming conference of the ITS Canada in May 2025 in Ottawa. How far is Canada in building a smart city and smart mobility area? What specific ingredients do they need as a country? Based on the population and the geographic surrounds Canada is in. What can both countries learn form eachother?

Marco Maréchal discussed this with Janneke van der Zee from ITS Canada, Omar Choudhry from the City of Ottawa, Usha Elyatamby from Arcadis, Sonya Shorey from Invest Ottawa, Laurette Rajotte Martorana from Telus, and Thomas Bauer from Miovision. How do you create smart infrastructure, and what is the role of telecom in connected cities and innovative V2X technologies?

Hoe kunnen smart cities en smart mobility de toekomst van stedelijke en landelijke gebieden vormgeven? Tijdens ITS Canada 2025 in Ottawa stond samenwerking tussen Nederland en Canada centraal. Wat betekenen deze ontwikkelingen voor zowel drukke stedelijke centra als afgelegen plattelandsgemeenschappen?

Marco Maréchal ging erover in gesprek met Janneke van der Zee van ITS Canada, Omar Choudhry van City of Ottawa, Usha Elyatamby van Arcadis, Sonya Shorey van Invest Ottawa, Laurette Rajotte Martorana van Telus en Thomas Bauer van Miovision. Hoe zorg je voor een slimme infrastructuur en wat is de de rol van telecom in connected cities en innovatieve V2X-technologieën? 

In 'Smart Mobility: The Future Is Now' wordt de theorie verbonden met de praktijk. De projecten die er zijn op het gebied van smart mobility en smart city worden besproken. Tevens is er een koppeling met de consument, de Nederlander, wat vinden wij hiervan en wat hebben we nodig om hierin actief in mee te participeren? Alleen door deze koppeling te maken wordt het een succes en geaccepteerd. Het betreft een interactief radioprogramma te gaan worden dat volop gebruik maakt van de gebruiker (de Nederlander). 

‘Smart Mobility: The Future Is Now‘ is elke laatste dinsdagmiddag van de maand van 15:00 tot 16:00 uur te beluisteren op New Business Radio. De uitzendingen worden ook als podcast beschikbaar gesteld.

Schematic Sound LIVE on Bassdrive Feb 01 2025

SPECIAL

Spinning, throwing jams and running borders since 2000, the lady like Mz. Revolution brings the wikkidest sound to the massive. Always keeping her selection fresh, her crates span the bass music spectrum from DnB, Footwork and UK Funky to the freshest Grime and Jungle.
Starting DJing and promoting in Ottawa in the early 2000s, she held down the local "Chicks with Decks"-events and was the main organizer of its original graffiti art parties, "Beatz and Piecez". 
Knowing music could take her further afield, she toured across Canada, reaching from Whitehorse to Vancouver to Halifax in the mid 2000s. During that time she also represented the fresh sounds of new school Canadian Ragga Jungle all over Europe, playing gigs in Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, Estonia, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. Highlights included headlining for "Let It Roll" in Prague, playing in Amsterdam on the 60th anniversary of the Canadian liberation of the Netherlands and turning up the bass so loud in Tallinn, Estonia it shook dust from the rafters of factory where the Sputnik (the first satellite) was built.
From 2008 - 12 she promoted Konkrete Jungle 613, and kept the jungle fires blazing in Canada's capital bringing in Canadian and international talent for monthly shows. Jungle luminaries she has played alongside include Aries, Nicky Blackmarket, Liondub, Marcus Visionary, Rene Levice, Krinjah, Ladylite and many more. 
In recent years, Mz. Revolution has focused on her job as an energy researcher and raising two little junglists who say "play the bass and drum mama!" Very thankful to be living in a time with such incredible music at her fingertips, she keeps up on the latest jungle dnb releases, does the occasional Twitch stream and posts mixes to her Soundcloud. She may be available for select domestic and international bookings.

Hold tight and flash up your lighters for the one like Mz. Revolution!

Bern Bass Podcast 119 - Mz. Revolution (February 2025)

Elmnt FM's Shawn Allen sits down with Kluane First Nation's Diyet of New North Collective and Diyet and the Love Soldiers to talk about what New North Collective is, what makes music such a powerful tool for sharing culture, and why Zak's Diner is the best breakfast in the city. New North Collective plays the Shenkman Arts Centre's Richcraft Theatre in Ottawa on Tuesday, February 4th.

Diyet of New North Collective on the Power of Music, Favourite Things About Ottawa

A great outdoor barbecue, a few drinks and good vibes led to the launch of the Bern Bass Podcast. The idea is to showcase a mix of mostly Swiss-based but also international Drum&Bass DJs and related people from other genres of music that we feel would fit.

For more than 30 years, Trevor Walker has been one of Canada’s best kept secrets. But talk to anyone who’s danced to his sets, booked him or shared the decks with him and the word legend is often use to praise his work. Collecting and playing music since 1988, he spent 21 years as a resident at Ottawa’s Mercury Lounge, one of the longest lasting and most respected venues in the country, playing alongside DJs such as : Derrick Carter, Louie Vega, Joe Claussell, Gilles Peterson, Fred Everything, Quantic, King Britt, Dj Spinna, Osunlade, Roger Sanchez, Josh Wink, and the list goes on.
