In this episode, we explore the Regional Council’s role and responsibilities — and why it plays such an essential part in your daily life. From managing healthcare, mental health services, and emergency response, to shaping regional development and policy, we break down what the Regional Council actually does and how it affects you.

Join us for a 30-minute conversation with our main guest as we discuss:

• What the Regional Council is and how it differs from your local council
• Which services, budgets, and decisions are handled at the regional level
• How residents — including internationals — can get involved and influence regional politics
• Why voting in the regional election (the yellow ballot) is just as important as voting locally

If you’ve ever wondered who makes decisions about hospitals, emergency services, or regional transportation — and how you can have a say — this episode is for you. Tune in to understand how the Regional Council impacts your community and why your vote matters more than you might think.
