18:06 | This week's Real Talk Round Table presented by Urban Timber celebrates The Edifiers: Edmontonians celebrated in the newest issue of Edify magazine. We meet Pilar Martinez (CEO, Edmonton Public Library), Simba Nyazika (CEO, Lenica Research Group), and Megha Sharma (EDI Coordinator, APEGA), and find out what makes them tick? What barriers did they overcome? What motivates them? What's the best advice they ever received? It's possible to take in this Round Table without learning something!
