About this episode
Roadwork, economic development and community generosity take centre stage in this October 21 conversation with Chestermere Mayor Shannon Dean.
Dean discusses efforts to connect with industry leaders and attract commercial investment, along with how broader economic pressures can affect local construction costs. He shares an update on Chestermere Boulevard and Rainbow Road, addresses rumours about completion dates, and acknowledges the need for clearer, more timely communication about construction and closures.
The conversation closes with a tribute to Chestermere’s firefighters and the community support behind their rooftop campout for ALS. Dean reflects on the department’s commitment to residents and the generosity that helped the fundraiser surpass its original goal.
