Welcome to Municipal Affairs Leaders from across the West gathered in Victoria for the Western Canadian Municipal Association’s two-day meeting. At the top of the agenda—funding for water and wastewater systems, the future of RCMP contract policing, and the push for meaningful bail reform.In attendance were representatives from every corner of the region: the Association of Manitoba Municipalities, the Saskatchewan Association of Rural Municipalities, the Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association, Alberta Municipalities, the Rural Municipalities of Alberta, and the host of this year's gathering, the Union of British Columbia Municipalities.But that was just the beginning. Delegates also stood united in the face of another extreme wildfire season, while tackling tough issues such as derelict properties, by-law prosecutions, Treaty Land Entitlement, and the push for greater local autonomy. Through it all, one theme carried the discussion: collaboration. Municipal leaders are working together—across provinces and with national partners—to strengthen advocacy, share solutions, and build communities that are stronger, safer, and more resilient.We sat down with SUMA President Randy Goulden, Alberta Municipalities President Tyler Gandam, Rural Municipalities of Alberta President Kara Westerlund, and Association of Manitoba Municipalities President Kathy Valentino. ***************************************************Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-showJoin The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show ***************************************************Listen To The Show: Apple: https://apple.co/41p5I2ISpotify: https://bit.ly/3tkvb0E Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown***************************************************Follow Us On Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/crossbordernetwork.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/Municipal Affairs is Part of The Cross Border Network©2025

Welcome to another episode of Municipal Affairs. In late May of this year—on May 28, 2025—the City of Flin Flon faced one of its most serious emergencies in recent memory. A rapidly spreading wildfire, fueled by extreme conditions and dry forests, prompted a mandatory evacuation of the entire community—some 5,100 residents—fearing the flames could engulf the town’s borders.The situation was dire: fire crews, supported by water bombers, helitankers, and nearly 200 firefighters, fought to keep the blaze from encroaching on homes and crucial infrastructure as winds threatened to push it further inward.Yet, resilience quickly became the watchword. Just shy of a month later, on June 25, 2025 evacuees were given the green light to return home as the wildfire threat eased.Deputy Mayor Alison Dallas-Funk played a central role in coordinating re-entry plans; she and other local leaders worked diligently to restore basic services and ensure households, businesses, and essential facilities were ready for the community’s return.In the weeks and months since, residents and businesses have returned in earnest, and life within the city is slowly but steadily resuming its familiar pace. Mayor George Fontaine noted that while medical facilities took a little longer to ramp up, even vulnerable populations—such as those in personal care homes—were able to return with care and support. Still, caution remains a constant companion; the scars of the blast zone just beyond the city’s edge remind everyone that while Flin Flon looks, and largely feels, like itself again, the resilience of its people and the vigilance of its services continue to shape the path forward.We sat down with Deputy Mayor Alison Dallas-Funk to hear about the aftermath of those wildfires, and how the city has recovered. The business community, too, has faced both disruption and renewal in the wake of the evacuation. For many local shops, restaurants, and service providers, weeks without customers brought significant financial strain, while others used the pause to rethink operations and strengthen their connections to the community. Organizations such as the Flin Flon & District Chamber of Commerce have stepped forward to play a vital role in that recovery—coordinating resources, advocating for support, and providing a forum for business owners to share challenges and solutions. We spoke with Kory Eastman, President of the Chamber, while in Flin Flon last month, where he emphasized how collaboration among businesses, local government, and residents is helping to rebuild momentum in the economy, ensuring that Flin Flon’s commercial heart beats strong as the community transitions back to normal life.***************************************************Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-showJoin The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show ***************************************************Listen To The Show: Apple: https://apple.co/41p5I2ISpotify: https://bit.ly/3tkvb0E Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown***************************************************Follow Us On Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/crossbordernetwork.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/Municipal Affairs is Part of The Cross Border Network©2025

With Alberta’s municipal election just around the corner, candidates are out in full force—pounding in signs, knocking on doors, and filling up social media feeds in hopes of winning voter support. But once the ballots are counted, the results declared, and the new council is sworn in, the real work begins.For many freshly elected officials, those first few months can feel like drinking from a firehose—an overwhelming rush of information, decisions, and responsibilities. Personalities can clash, priorities can collide, and the learning curve is steep. Yet how a council navigates those early days can set the tone for an entire term.In this episode, we’re asking: what makes a council successful in its first months? How can a change in leadership reshape a community? And what is the true value of a mayor and council in 2025?To answer these questions, we turn to two experts who have spent decades working alongside councils across Alberta and beyond. George Cuff, governance expert, consultant, and author of Leading: The Real Value of a Mayor and Council, The Mayor, and Executive Policy Governance. And Ian McCormack, president of Strategic Steps Inc. and author of Who Is Driving the Grader, The DNA of Great Leaders, and UnCivil Society.Together, they share insights on how councils can hit the ground running, what pitfalls to avoid, and yes—we’ll even get to the bottom of that all-important question: who’s driving the grader?***************************************************Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-showJoin The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show ***************************************************Listen To The Show: Apple: https://apple.co/41p5I2ISpotify: https://bit.ly/3tkvb0E Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown***************************************************Follow Us On Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/crossbordernetwork.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/Municipal Affairs is Part of The Cross Border Network©2025

Good evening, and welcome to a live edition of Municipal Affairs. I’m Christopher Brown, and tonight we’re diving into a conversation that stretches far beyond potholes, zoning bylaws, and property taxes — straight into the heart of Canada’s unity debate.At the center of it all is the Forever Canada campaign, a movement launched by former Alberta Deputy Premier Thomas Lukaszuk. Its goal: to rally support for keeping Alberta firmly within Confederation. And while the campaign gains momentum, it’s drawing municipal leaders into the national spotlight — leaders who usually stick closer to the ground-level concerns of their residents.But is this the right move? As mayors and councillors take public stances on Forever Canada, are they elevating their role as democratic leaders — or risking dividing their communities? And with municipal election campaigns in full swing, does this kind of advocacy strengthen their credibility, or pull them away from the issues closest to home?Tonight, we put those questions directly to three local leaders who’ve chosen to publicly align themselves with the campaign. Joining us are St. Albert Mayor Cathy Heron, Penhold Mayor Mike Yargeau, and Canmore Councillor Wade Graham.It’s a conversation about politics, identity, and the evolving role of municipal leadership.***************************************************Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-showJoin The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show ***************************************************Listen To The Show: Apple: https://apple.co/41p5I2ISpotify: https://bit.ly/3tkvb0E Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown***************************************************Follow Us On Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/crossbordernetwork.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/Municipal Affairs is Part of The Cross Border Network©2025

Local governments are the heart and soul of our communities. Every day, councils and staff across this province work to make sure that residents and businesses have the services, programs, and infrastructure they need to thrive. Our local leaders don’t step forward for fame or recognition—they run because they care. They want to make life better for the people who call our towns, cities, and rural communities home.On October 2, 2025, municipalities in Newfoundland and Labrador will head to the polls for their general elections. And for the first time, Local Service Districts will be holding elections as well. It’s a historic moment—your opportunity to be part of something bigger. A chance to lead, to shape the future of your community, and to truly make your mark.In the lead-up to election day, conversations are more important than ever. That’s why Dr. Deatra Walsh has launched a new podcast, Municipal Monday, where she speaks with local leaders to educate residents, voters, and prospective candidates alike. Today, we catch up with Dr. Walsh to hear her perspective on the state of the race—whether apathy is setting in, how local issues are driving voter interest, and how the recent wildfires across the province might impact the election cycle.This is Municipal Affairs—and it starts right now.***************************************************MNL Website: https://municipalnl.ca/Make Your Mark NL Website: https://makeyourmarknl.ca/Listen Municipal Monday: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/29QTOgNg2blKJWQwINB2ZW Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/municipal-monday/id1819577214***************************************************Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-showJoin The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show ***************************************************Listen To The Show: Apple: https://apple.co/41p5I2ISpotify: https://bit.ly/3tkvb0E Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown***************************************************Follow Us On Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/crossbordernetwork.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/Municipal Affairs is Part of The Cross Border Network©2025

On this episode of Municipal Affairs, we sit down with women leaders who are preparing to close a chapter in their political journeys. After years of service in local government, they’re stepping away from elected office—and with that comes a chance to reflect.They share candid insights into the realities of municipal life: the late-night council meetings, the tough policy debates, and the moments of connection that made it all worthwhile. They speak openly about the challenges that tested them, the pivotal moments that shaped their careers, and the personal reasons behind their decision to hang up their hats.But this is also a conversation about what comes next. With warmth and wisdom, our guests offer advice for the next generation of leaders, sharing what they’ve learned about public service, community, and the legacy they hope to leave behind.Joining us are Trina Jones, Councillor for the Town of Legal, and Lyndsay Montina, Mayor of Coalhurst. Together, their stories remind us that behind every public role is a personal journey—and that leadership is as much about knowing when to step forward as it is about knowing when to step back.***************************************************Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-showJoin The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show ***************************************************Listen To The Show: Apple: https://apple.co/41p5I2ISpotify: https://bit.ly/3tkvb0E Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown***************************************************Follow Us On Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/crossbordernetwork.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/Municipal Affairs is Part of The Cross Border Network©2025

Welcome to Municipal Affairs.In local government, some of the hardest decisions are the ones residents notice most—in their tax bill. And while it’s tempting to keep those numbers low year after year, the reality is that doing so can quietly drain a community’s financial health. Eventually, reserves shrink, critical projects are delayed, and the future gets harder to fund.In Merritt, British Columbia, the conversation about finances took a bold turn. As CAO Cynthia White explains, her senior leadership team recommended—and Council ultimately backed—a significant tax increase of more than ten percent, along with utility rate adjustments, over the last two years. The result? The city has stopped using reserves to fund day-to-day operations and has started saving for the capital projects that can’t be put off forever.Today, we’re talking with Cynthia White and Mayor Mike Goetz about how administration and council worked together to make that choice, what it took to convince the community, and how Merritt is proving that it is possible to move the needle in the right direction. This is our Community Spotlight for the month, and it’s a story about financial courage, long-term thinking, and the power of a united approach to building a stronger future.***************************************************Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-showJoin The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show ***************************************************Listen To The Show: Apple: https://apple.co/41p5I2ISpotify: https://bit.ly/3tkvb0E Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown***************************************************Follow Us On Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/crossbordernetwork.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/Municipal Affairs is Part of The Cross Border Network©2025

Welcome to Alberta Municipal Votes 2025 here on Municipal Affairs.In municipal politics, the boundary between public responsibility and private life is often blurred.

At others, political leaders choose to be candid, inviting the public to see the person behind the office.Today, we are joined by Jeromy Farkas, a candidate for mayor of Calgary in the upcoming municipal election on October 20th.
