About this episode

The episode features an interview conducted entirely in French with Councillor Louise Wallace Richmond, marking a personal challenge for the host to learn the language.

Il y a un peu plus d’un an, après avoir quitté Ottawa à la suite du congrès de la Fédération canadienne des municipalités, je me suis donné un objectif : apprendre le français, la deuxième langue officielle du Canada. Je voulais me lancer un défi et, un jour, faire une entrevue complète en français pour Municipal Affairs . Au congrès de la FCM à Edmonton, la conseillère de la Ville de Salmon Arm, Louise Wallace Richmond, a accepté d’être ma première invitée pour une entrevue entièrement en français. (ENGLISH VERSION) A little over a year ago, leaving Ottawa after the Federation of Canadian Municipalities Convention, I made myself a promise: to learn Canada's second official language, French. I wanted to challenge myself and one day conduct an entire Municipal Affairs interview in French. At the FCM Convention in Edmonton, City of Salmon Arm Councillor Louise Wallace Richmond was set to be my first fully French guest. Without further ado... bienvenue à Municipal Affairs, en français. ----- Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-show Join The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show ------ Listen To The Show: Apple…
