The End of the McLauchlin Era

Welcome to Municipal Affairs, where today we mark the end of an era for Alberta’s rural communities. After four years of dedicated leadership, Paul McLauchlin will be stepping down next week as President of the Rural Municipalities of Alberta (RMA). His tenure has been one of both challenges and transformation, with Alberta’s rural areas navigating complex issues, from economic shifts and infrastructure needs to evolving relationships with the provincial government. Paul’s leadership has helped shape RMA’s path forward, advocating for rural concerns and positioning Alberta’s rural municipalities as vital players in the province's future. In this special episode, we sit down with Paul to reflect on his time in office and the pivotal moments that have defined his presidency. We’ll discuss his views on how RMA has evolved over the past four years and the future he envisions for the organization and Alberta’s rural communities. With five candidates vying to fill his shoes, Paul also shares his advice for the incoming president. Stay with us as we explore Paul’s legacy and look ahead to the future of rural governance in Alberta. *************************************************** Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-show Join The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show *************************************************** Follow Us On Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ *************************************************** Listen To The Show: Apple: https://apple.co/41p5I2I Spotify: https://bit.ly/3tkvb0E Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/ Municipal Affairs is Part of The Cross Border Network ©2024

NS Votes '24: What Are Municipalities Looking For?

Welcome to another episode of Municipal Affairs. In a surprising move, Premier Tim Houston has called for a snap provincial election in Nova Scotia, to be held on November 26, aiming to secure a second term for his Progressive Conservative government. This decision comes despite Houston’s own 2020 legislation that fixed the next election date to July 15, 2025, a change introduced to create stability in the province’s electoral schedule. On Sunday, Houston sought and received the lieutenant-governor’s approval to dissolve the Nova Scotia House of Assembly, where his Progressive Conservatives held a strong majority of 34 seats in the 55-seat Legislature at the time of dissolution. The opposition included 14 seats held by the Nova Scotia Liberals under first-term leader Zach Churchill, six seats by the Nova Scotia NDP led by Claudia Chender, and one Independent. The announcement is particularly significant for municipalities, as the election date coincides with the opening day of the Nova Scotia Federation of Municipalities (NSFM) Fall Convention. Representing over 370 elected officials across all 49 of the province’s municipalities, the NSFM serves as the unified voice for municipal issues in Nova Scotia. NSFM President, Mayor Carolyn Bolivar-Getson, shared her insights on the election call, emphasizing the importance of municipal concerns in this election cycle. Municipal leaders will look to see where each party stands on key issues, such as infrastructure funding, housing, economic development, and emergency services support, as they prepare to engage directly with party leaders at the convention. *************************************************** Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-show Join The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show *************************************************** Follow Us On Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ *************************************************** Listen To The Show: Apple: https://apple.co/41p5I2I Spotify: https://bit.ly/3tkvb0E Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/ Municipal Affairs is Part of The Cross Border Network ©2024

Norman Wells On The Brink Of Disaster

Welcome to Municipal Affairs We turning our focus to the town of Norman Wells, Northwest Territories, where the community is grappling with the consequences of an unprecedented supply chain disruption. Amidst record-low water levels along the Mackenzie River this past summer, barge shipments — a lifeline for delivering essential supplies to this remote region — were cancelled. This has led to drastic spikes in fuel and supply prices as the town now relies heavily on more costly air transport to bring in everything from groceries to heating fuel. Earlier this month, Norman Wells’ town council took an extraordinary step, declaring a local state of emergency and voting to request that the territorial government escalate this crisis to the federal level. This move aims to secure broader, immediate support for Norman Wells’ residents and businesses — support that’s urgently needed as winter fasts approaches. Councillors and Mayor Frank Pope have specifically requested $6.6 million to ensure a stable heating fuel supply for the winter months. And if the territory agrees to their appeal and declares a state of emergency in the Sahtu region, it could trigger additional provincial powers under the Emergency Management Act. Notably, this would allow Municipal and Community Affairs Minister Vince McKay to potentially regulate fuel prices, offering a lifeline to residents and businesses strained by soaring costs. While the Territory Government has responded with an initial $150,000 to help offset these rising expenses, local leaders and residents say this is far from sufficient. In response to rising frustrations, the council has also questioned Imperial Oil about the sharply rising fuel costs, asking why measures weren’t in place to better buffer the impact of missed barge deliveries. The Northwest Territories government has acknowledged the urgency of the situation and has expressed its commitment to working with local businesses, Indigenous governments, and the federal government to identify long-term solutions that could help prevent similar crises in the future. Joining us today is Mayor Pope. We’ll be diving deep into the urgent challenges facing his community, the actions local leaders have already taken, and what lies ahead for residents if their calls for help continue to go unanswered. Mayor Pope will help us understand just how serious this situation is and what the community is asking for in terms of funding, regulatory action, and long-term infrastructure solutions. His message to the federal government, the Northwest Territories, and corporate partners is clear: without decisive support, Norman Wells could face a much larger crisis. *************************************************** Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-show Join The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show *************************************************** Follow Us On Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ *************************************************** Listen To The Show: Apple: https://apple.co/41p5I2I Spotify: https://bit.ly/3tkvb0E Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/ Municipal Affairs is Part of The Cross Border Network ©2024
