About this episode

The episode discusses the recent Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association convention, focusing on collaboration among municipal leaders and the challenges they face.

The Saskatchewan Urban Municipalities Association’s annual convention has come to a close, wrapping up four days of conversation, collaboration, and forward-looking planning in Regina. Municipal leaders from across the province came together with a shared goal—finding ways to strengthen communities of every size. From infrastructure and funding to healthcare and regional cooperation, the discussions reflected the challenges many municipalities continue to navigate, and the importance of working together to address them. The convention also welcomed voices from beyond Saskatchewan. Tim Tierney, Vice President of the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, was on the ground speaking with local leaders about how national advocacy can support priorities identified here at home. And from neighbouring Alberta, Debra Reid-Mickler, Vice President of Alberta Municipalities, joined the conversation—highlighting how many of the issues being discussed in Saskatchewan are strikingly similar to those facing municipalities across provincial borders. ------ This episode of Municipal Affairs was sponsored by: Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy https://www.schoolofpublicpolicy.sk.ca/…
