Episode 3 of MuniCast is coming July 14. However, we're excited to release bonus content from my conversation with Malcolm Eaton in advance of the full episode Governing Your Community With Malcolm Eaton. Enjoy this snippet on council picking up shovels in the community and when you know it's time to retire from municipal service.

What does a meaningful investment in recreation look like in your community? Join us as we talk to Todd Shafer, CEO of Saskatchewan Parks and Recreation Association (SPRA), about all things recreation. The SPRA is a network of recreation leaders dedicated to energizing Saskatchewan and changing lives. Todd is entering his fourth year as the CEO of the SPRA, where he is responsible for overseeing operations for the organization.  He has over 20 years of non-profit and municipal leadership experience in both rural and urban centres in Saskatchewan and the Northwest Territories. Prior to SPRA, he held the position of general manager for both the 2018 Arctic Winter Games and the NWT Sport and Recreation Council.

Join us as we talk to author and municipal expert George Cuff about all things good governance. As a 12-year mayor and former president of the Alberta Urban Municipalities Association (AUMA) and the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM), Cuff knows a thing or two about leading by example, managing conflict, and delegating responsibilities to ensure everything gets done by the best person for the job. In this podcast, we cover key differences between the roles of council and administrators, how to manage conflict effectively, what services municipalities are expected to provide, and more.
