  • 801. Meath County Councillor Noel French

    Welcome to Cross Border Interviews, the online show where we dive into the insights of municipal political leaders from around the world!


    Our mission is to shine a light on the dedicated individuals who, day in and day out, work around the council table to shape the communities we call home.


    Joining us for today’s episode is Meath County Councillor Noel French


    Meath is known as the Royal County because many centuries ago aspiring High Kings of Ireland came to the Hill of Tara in the centre of County Meath to be crowned in elaborate kingship rituals. Tara is an important location in many Irish myths and legends.


    Meath was once the fifth province of Ireland called Mide which incorporated what is now Westmeath and large parts of Cavan and Longford, stretching from the Shannon to the sea.


    Trim Castle is Ireland’s largest Anglo-Norman castle. It is also the place where parts of the movie Braveheart were filmed.

  • 800. Wheatland County Reeve Amber Link

    Welcome to the 800th episode of Cross Border Interviews, the online show where we dive into the insights of municipal political leaders from across Canada.

    Our mission is to shine a light on the dedicated individuals who, day in and day out, work around the council table to shape the communities we call home.
    Joining us for today’s episode is Wheatland County Reeve Amber Link.
    The prairie’s natural beauty fills the eye in all parts of Wheatland County.
    From the golden fields near Standard to the badlands of the northeast, to the tranquility of the Bow River near Carseland. Wheatland County is an ideal blend of rural and urban lifestyles.
    Wheatland County's heritage of independence and hard work shows in the farms and ranches – and the pride in the past is still evident in community rodeos and fairs each summer and fall.
    The County's work ethic and dedicated stewardship of the land, once primarily agricultural, is now their strength as they look forward to the future.

    Welcome to Cross Border Interviews, the online show where we dive into the insights of municipal political leaders from across Canada.

    The City of Greater Sudbury is centrally located in Northeastern Ontario at the convergence of three major highways.

These visitors come to the city to visit with family and friends, for cultural and educational experiences, such as Science North and Dynamic Earth, for entertainment, for shopping and for conducting business.

    Trenton gained its name in 1882, by the suggestion of the prominent citizen Harvey Graham, after he visited the American city, Trenton, New Jersey. The Town of Trenton was incorporated on March 11th of 1911.


    Trenton has the only airport on the Easter Mainland and is located at the top of Duke Street. It is fog free and navigationally in line with the Robert Stanfield International Airport, Halifax, N.S.


    Glass was an important industry in the early life of Trenton, there being three glass houses from 1881-1915, namely: The Nova Scotia Glass Company, Lamont Glass Company and Humphreys Glass Company. Trenton is the only town in Nova Scotia where glass was manufactured at that time.


    Visitors should check out the Trenton Heritage located on Forge Street for more information on Trenton’s extensive history and displays.
