ABOUT THIS EPISODE
🎙️ BIG ANNOUNCEMENT FROM FOR THE RECORD 🎙️
After more than 120 episodes over the past three and a half years, For the Record will be taking a short hiatus as the October 17 civic election campaign gets underway.
In this special episode, co-hosts Councillors Daniel Fontaine and Paul Minhas announce that there are only two episodes remaining before the podcast pauses, with the final pre-election episode dropping on July 9 - exactly 100 days before Election Day.
To mark the occasion, Daniel and Paul take a look back at some of the many memorable conversations that have made For the Record a trusted source for civic discussion in New Westminster.
🎤 This week's episode features highlights from past guests, including:
🍀 Jennifer Mackie, owner of Kelly O'Bryan's Restaurant & Pub
🏢 Rich Patterson, local business owner and community advocate
📰 Bill Tieleman, political commentator and public affairs strategist
🙏 Jag Sall, community leader from the Queensborough Gurdwara
🎖️ Terry Leith, President of Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 2 in New Westminster
...along with reflections on the many people who have helped make the podcast what it is today.
📺 The episode also includes Daniel Fontaine's recent Global News interview highlighting his third annual Metro Vancouver Mayors' Salary Report, which sparked significant public discussion around transparency and accountability in regional government.
📱 Daniel and Paul also celebrate an incredible 30 days of engagement for the NWP, with hundreds of thousands of Facebook and Instagram views as residents continue engaging with local issues and the future of our city.
❤️ Above all, this episode is a heartfelt thank you to everyone who has tuned in, shared an episode, appeared as a guest, or supported For the Record over the past three and a half years.
