Today on MuniCast we are diving into a growing relationship that is taking shape across Saskatchewan, the relationship between Saskatchewan Municipalities and First Nations.Welcome to Season 10 of Muni-Cast.MuniCast is brought to you by SUMA, the voice of Saskatchewan's urban municipalities. MuniCast discusses topics that are important to municipal leaders, like local governance, best practices, education, and so much more. This season, conversations will dive into how municipalities can get the most value from SUMA's offerings—from building meaningful connections through networking, to strengthening capacity through education, advancing local priorities through advocacy, and gaining direct access to government officials.Today we are discussing the work between first nations and Saskatchewan Municipalities, whether that is promoting the understanding of Treaty rights and Truth and Reconciliation among Saskatchewan's urban municipalities and how we can facilitate relationship-building between First Nations and municipalities.We caught up with Former Mayor of Saskatoon, and now Charlie Clark, the Saskatchewan Office of the Treaty Commissioner Treaty Relations Lead, to discuss the work that the OTC does to promote relationship building between First Nations and municipalities, and why it's important to focus on building those relations today. We now turn our attention to an organization that has been long in building and fostering a relationship between First Nations and municipalities across Eastern Saskatchewan. Sylvite Four-Six is a unique regional partnership formed to prepare for significant growth, catalyzed by one of the largest private sector investments in Saskatchewan history – BHP's $14B potash mine near Jansen, Saskatchewan. We caught up with Board Chai Brent Sunshine of Fishing Lake First Nation, and Outgoing Vice Chair Joe Day, City Manager for the City of Humboldt. We discuss how working together has strengthened the project, and what they have learned from each other. -----Learn More About SUMA: Website: https://suma.org/Facebook: https://facebook.com/SUMAConnectTwitter: https://twitter.com/SUMAConnectLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/saskatchewan-urban-municipalities-associationInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/suma.connectYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/user/SUMASask-----Listen to the Show: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5QLq7OluynaodZyd7c30DN?si=f67427d5b2ec4483Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/municast/id1750494860Youtube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnyOMC0SKIN9AwtusJmC9pLyuaudHP7Bf&si=SnzkKbG0GQvkMLb4-----Music: ‘One Foot On Main Street' written and performed by Jeffery Straker, used with permission.-----Follow the Cross Border Network: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/crossbordernetwork.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/MuniCast is made in partnership with SUMA and the Cross Border Network©2026

Today on ReDream Education, I am honored to welcome a leader whose influence extends far beyond city hall — former Mayor and City Commissioner Matt Morgan. Many know him as a champion for community development, public safety, and family-first initiatives. But what many don't realize is how deeply he understands the connection between strong communities and strong schools. This episode is a powerful reminder that education doesn't evolve in isolation — it evolves through leadership, courage, and collaboration. Matt and I talk openly about: why local leadership must be part of the education transformation how community partnerships can strengthen learning environments the realities parents and teachers are facing today why microschools, homeschool hybrids, and parent-led models are accelerating the importance of supporting neurodivergent learners with dignity how cities and schools can work together to create safer, healthier, more innovative learning communities We also discuss the deeper truth: Our education system is redreaming itself — and it requires leaders in every corner of society to show up. Whether you're a teacher feeling the weight of burnout, a parent searching for a better fit for your child, a founder building a microschool, or a philanthropist looking to invest in meaningful change, this episode will remind you: You are not powerless. You are not alone. And your influence matters more than ever. Matt shares his perspective as a father, a civic leader, and an advocate for children. His message is clear: Cities thrive when children thrive. Children thrive when schools evolve. And schools evolve when courageous people say: it's time to build something better. This conversation is hopeful, grounding, and deeply motivating — the kind that helps you understand that the future of education is not just a school initiative… it's a community-wide movement. If you've been wondering how education, leadership, and community impact intersect — this episode will show you exactly why each piece matters. This is ReDream Education. This is leadership in action. And this is only the beginning. ----more---- Microschool Masterminds: skool.com/microschool-masterminds Every Thursday from 12-1 pm (EST), join Makenzie Oliver, microschool founder, VELA connector, and instructional coach, along with other founders, parents, and dreamers, as we connect, inspire, and progress through the challenges and celebrations of starting, running, and growing a microschool!

Graves County: Chapter 6 | Something Rotten Just how far are cops and prosecutors allowed to go in their pursuit of justice – and who do we hold accountable when their whole case falls apart? These are questions that Quincy Cross, Tamara Caldwell, and Jeff Burton live with every day. Meanwhile, answers to why Jessica Currin’s murder investigation went so wrong in the first place may lie somewhere in the beginning. Key figures in this chapter: Tom Mangold: British journalist who covered the Jessica Currin case and worked alongside citizen investigator Susan Galbreath. Tim Fortner: The lead Mayfield Police detective on Jessica’s murder case. Ronnie Lear: Assistant Chief of the Mayfield Police in the early 2000s. Michael Greisz: Mayfield Chief of Police from 2004 to 2005. Wayne Potts (1939-2019): Former Mayor of Mayfield. Joe Currin: He is still waiting for answers on the death of his daughter. Quincy Cross: He is in prison, fighting for an evidentiary hearing and the chance at a new trial. Tamara Caldwell and Jeff Burton: They are still hoping to clear their names. David Cross and Rachelle Brown: Quincy Cross’ father and sister. Darra Woolman: Our source. **Editorial Note** This case involved many defendants throughout the years and investigations by three law enforcement agencies. There was a lot we couldn’t get to, including the fact that two more men were charged in Jessica’s case: Isaac Benjamin and Austin Leech. Benjamin pled guilty to complicity to tampering with evidence and served just over one year in prison. Leech went to trial for perjury and tampering with evidence – the only other defendant to stand trial – and was acquitted in 2009.
