Don Iveson on Leadership: From City Hall to Community Impact

But inaction on these and judgment on these, leaving them to fester in our cities be and then blaming the cities as if they cause these challenges, you know that's, that's an unfortunate game of politics that's unfolded in a number of Canadian provinces, particularly on the prairies, that I think it isn't making conditions better for people to feel safe, isn't making conditions better for business and investment.
Ever wondered how a mayor navigates the complexities of leading a major city? In this episode of MuniCast, former Edmonton Mayor Don Iveson opens up about his journey in municipal leadership. From the challenges of stepping into the role at a young age to the seismic shifts brought on by COVID-19, Don offers a candid look at what it takes to steer a community through turbulent times.
He shares personal stories and professional insights that reveal how mental health, housing, and leadership are all deeply intertwined. Don doesn't shy away from tough topics, emphasizing the importance of meeting people where they are rather than pointing fingers at cities for societal issues. His reflections are both eye-opening and inspiring, providing valuable lessons for anyone interested in community engagement and leadership. Tune in to hear how Don's experiences can help you make a difference in your own community.
