City Centric
Season 2

What is a city-centric person? 

 

A person that showcases qualities of the city they live, work, and play in, but not in a stereotypical fashion.
 

CITY CENTRIC returns for a second season of interviews with trailblazers from six more cities across our region. Each city’s episode reveals the stories of six changemakers who exemplify their city and possess unique roles including business leader, revitalizer, artist, humanitarian, historian, educator and visionary.
