Dear Listeners,

You are in for a treat. This may be the final episode of this podcast Season 9. And, together with this, comes, guests Gord Androsoff and James Yachyshen.

We have a benign beginning and then get right into it - discussing the list, as we know it, informally so, of candidates so far we know/heard of who are running in each of the respective ten civic wards that make up our local ward government.

Have a listen. Provide us with any insights and updates you may have through your network.

Thanks for tuning in - and know - it's FMPhasis around the corner - and we can't wait to reach out to ask for your support of local community media.

Civic regards,
Lenore for the team

Hello Folks,

Oooh my goodness, Fall season, and it is starting out FAST...too fast...including uploading today's episode. Thanks ST for letting me know the incorrect episode was uploaded.

In this episode James Yachyshen and I debrief the first Saskatoon Mayoral Forum held on August 29th - co-hosted by myself and Christina from Civically Speaking and our colleagues from Voice of Saskatoon, Anika Mysha, Rashid Ahmed, and Madhurja Ghosh together with Rogers local community radio station. Oh what fun it was fielding questions to each of the mayoral candidates, Don Atchison, Cynthia Block, Cary Tarasoff and Gordon Wyant.

We then turn to Saskatchewan provincial politics in part 2 and check in on the latest happening during this pre election season.

It's worth a listen. Please share with others and support local media and community radio shows just like this.

Dear Listeners,

Thank you so much for tuning in. Much appreciation.

Dale Richardson and Gordon Androsoff join me as co-hosts. Regrets from Christina this week.

In part 1, we dive into what it means to have four candidates now in Saskatoon's Mayoral race. Joining Cary Tarasoff, Cynthia Block and Gord Wyant is former Mayor, Don Atchison (for a second run).

In part 2, we get into the latest polling results from Angus-Reid and what the implications of recent polls by them and Insightrix may mean strategy wise for both the Saskatchewan Party and New Democratic Party of Saskatchewan.

Thanks to Dale and Gord for joining. And thanks to you for listening. We hope you enjoy listening to this show as much as we like making it.

Civically Speaking,
Lenore

Hello Dear Listeners,

Thanks for tuning in. So appreciated. We love doing this show.

On this week's show - we give a big shout out to Tracy Muggli, the most recent Senator appointment announced by the Prime Minister to represent our Province. Tracy is an amazing person - truly, an earth angel. She is a social worker by profession and has been a true community champion. She will represent this province well in the Federal Senate Chambers.

Other news, Don Atchison, former mayor, announces his attempt again to reclaim his former seat as Mayor. He ran in 2016 and lost to Charlie Clark and again in 2020 where he came in third. What are the implications of him coming in as a fourth candidate? Joining Cary Tarasoff, Gord Wyant, and Cynthia Block.

Other news ...listen in...
