Welcome to Cross Border Interviews, the show where we dive into the insights of municipal political leaders from across Canada.
Our mission is to shine a light on the dedicated individuals who, day in and day out, work around the council table to shape the communities we call home.
For today’s episode we chat with Whitecourt Mayor Tom Pickard
Whitecourt is surrounded by miles of forested lands, raging and meandering rivers, and so much in between.
Sledding in the Snowmobile Capital of Alberta, jet boat races on the Athabasca River, tubing on the McLeod River, camping at Carson Pegasus Provincial Park, or stay close to all the action at Brooke's Creek, spend a day at Rotary Park to take in the river slides, tour the trail system leading to the river spurs, beach volleyball, off-leash dog park; take a breath - there's more.
A challenging golf course? Cross-country skiing? Hunting? Events? It's all here.
A welcoming and enthusiastic community, great recreation, and exciting tourism opportunities, and they are only 90 minutes from Edmonton
