Today, we head to Cow Town, Saskatchewan, the last stop along the trans Canada Highway before heading west into Alberta, and the gateway to the Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park.

Welcome to Season 9 of MuniCast!

MuniCast is brought to you by SUMA, the voice of Saskatchewan’s urban municipalities. MuniCast discusses topics that are important to municipal leaders, like local governance, best practices, education, and so much more.

In Season 9, we are meeting SUMA’s Board of Directors. SUMA has adopted a new, modern governance structure built from a thorough governance review and member consultation.

This new structure is a caucus model with a 7-member Board and 34 representatives from villages, resort villages, towns, cities, and northern municipalities across all regions, marking the beginning of a new chapter for SUMA. To follow up on our first episode of Season 9, we continue to dive into the SUMA Board Members.

And Today we are honoured to sit down in person and speak with SUMA Vice President of Towns, and Mayor of Maple Creek, Saskatchewan Michelle McKenzie.
