The Educated CAO

Description

Welcome to the Political Trenches Local Government At Work.

We’re back in the trenches looking at the stories and issues that are shaping municipalities from coast to coast to coast.

We are continuing our dive into the role of the CAO We are honoured to be joined by Brenda Ottenbriet, the CAO for the Town of Maidstone, Saskatchewan. We will be discussing education and its role. Saskatchewan is one of the few jurisdictions that requires CAOs and Administrators to have some form of education.

But to kick us off, our rundown today includes, a mayor in Eastern Ontario who has lost the confidence of his council, a Village in British Columbia that is asking the BC Supreme Court to lower its threshold for Quorum, and Generation Z has entered the chat in Municipal Politics.
