Streeter: Municipal Advocacy At Work At Stampede
About this episode
This episode discusses the role of the Calgary Stampede in municipal advocacy and features local leaders sharing their priorities.
The Calgary Stampede is known as the Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth, drawing hundreds of thousands of visitors from across Alberta, Canada, and around the world to celebrate Alberta's western heritage and culture. But beyond the rodeo and midway, the Stampede has also become one of the province's most important opportunities for municipal advocacy. At this year's Alberta Premier's Calgary Stampede Breakfast at McDougall House in downtown Calgary, municipal leaders met with provincial MLAs and federal MPs to discuss the issues that matter most to their communities. We caught up with a few of those leaders and asked one question: What issue are you advocating for at the Calgary Stampede? From rural municipalities to Alberta's largest cities, local leaders shared the priorities they're bringing to the table—and why face-to-face conversations with provincial and federal decision-makers are such an important part of Stampede. ----- 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: https://apple.co/41p5I2I Spotify: https://bit.ly/3tkvb0E YouTube…
