MuniCast: The Podcast About Municipal Leadership

"Municipal Leadership" is not just a catchy phrase but also a critical aspect of local governance. To help you stay up-to-date on issues surrounding this topic, SUMA has launched its podcast series called MuniCast.
With four seasons under its belt - each with a different theme - MuniCast is your go-to source for conversations around municipal leadership. The show features guests connected to SUMA's Convention and Tradeshow who share their experiences on everything from unique regional challenges to mental health issues.
Episodes are released monthly on Wednesdays allowing you ample time to tune into these thought-provoking discussions at your convenience.
Throughout their series', MuniCast has featured several notable guests such as former Premier Lorne Calvert, Minister Don McMorris, former Mayor of Edmonton Don Iveson along with various community leaders including Councillors Crystal Froese and Jordan McPhail.
The topics discussed span across multiple categories covering areas such as mental health and addiction management in communities; integrated youth services; urban reserves; local climate resiliency; virtual programming; educational opportunities for residents amongst others making it an informative listen for anyone interested in municipal governance.
One particularly interesting episode titled "Partnering with the Public," featured an enlightening discussion with former Mayor of Edmonton Don Iveson sharing his experiences around housing affordability while highlighting the interconnectedness between housing policy decisions made by municipalities' leadership teams that affect overall public service delivery outcomes positively or negatively depending upon how these policies are implemented.
Listeners will appreciate how the conversations flow effortlessly between hosts Dalton Lam (who generously provided this season's theme) and various guests creating an engaging listening experience that keeps them informed throughout each episode. Season 4 continues this trend promising even more exciting content still yet to come!
