Support LWC on Patreon

What will define the 2021 Calgary municipal election?

In this month’s show on CJSW 90.9 FM, we talk with political strategist and communications consultant Alex Middleton from Champion Communications on what he expects in the upcoming Calgary election.

After all, candidates are already staking their claim and we’re still almost 13 months away.

We also chat with Acting 911 Commander Magni Magnuson of the City of Calgary about possible changes to EMS dispatch in the city. We produced a detailed written piece on that topic that outlines the potential impact on Calgary emergency response.

Are you indundated with information about COVID-19? Social media, traditional media, family, friends… bombarded with it. Don’t worry, host Darren Krause, editor of livewirecalgary.com, feels your pain.
