ABOUT THIS EPISODE

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.

As many kids are heading back to school today, we wanted to head back to where we came from for a special episode of Cross Border Interviews.

Today we are honoured to welcome to the show Clarington Ontario, Mayor Adrian Foster.

Clarington is a vibrant community with a historic downtown.

Savour seasonal produce grown by local farms at the farmers’ market or satisfy your appetite at Food Truck Alley. Find great hiking trails at Orono Crown Lands.

Filled with scenic farmlands, endearing townships, historical sites and outdoor adventures, Clarington begs to be explored.

Located on the shores of Lake Ontario, within the Durham Region. The town is located approximately 90 kilometres east of Downtown Toronto.
