Hi Everyone

Some fun Friday news. CBC recently re-ran my interview on Spark around the
FM Chip which has gotten people talking about it (There is most likely a
large international announcement coming shortly about chips in smartphones
as well, so when it comes out I'll share it with everyone).

The story has created a bunch more interest online and resulted in Toronto
city council getting involved.

Hi Barry,



Councillor Fragedakis has filed a Member's Motion at next week's Toronto
City Council meeting regarding  Activating the FM Chip in Smartphones.  You
can find that item online on the City's website
<https://mailtrack.io/trace/link/da67af8d6ffb6897558efcdfd45ed7fe4aee689f?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapp.toronto.ca%2Ftmmis%2FviewAgendaItemHistory.do%3Fitem%3D2017.MM28.10&userId=1269584&signature=dac782ec12e88e84>
.



Hopefully, this will garner the campaign some media attention.



Councillor Fragedakis would like to thank you and the NCRA for their work
on this important issue.



Regards,



Daryl Finlayson

Advisor, Policy & Communications

Councillor Mary Fragedakis

Ward 29 | Toronto-Danforth

Please, continue to run PSA's and if anyone wants to update them, let me
know (or if you need copies again).  If you have any interesting contacts
or want to do a story yourself, I am available.
