ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Today on MuniCast, a new partnership that SUMA has been involved with, called Cities4Cities, which has been supporting the establishment and development of municipal partnerships between Ukraine and partners worldwide.
Welcome to the penultimate episode of Season 10 of Muni-Cast.
MuniCast is brought to you by SUMA, the voice of Saskatchewan’s urban municipalities.
MuniCast discusses topics important to municipal leaders, such as local governance, best practices, education, and 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 the Cities Four Cities network includes 100 partnerships across eight European countries and across North America.
Through Cities Four Cities, Municipalities can explore the shared benefits of partnering with Ukrainian municipalities, learn how to find the right partner, and see how Cities Four Cities supports partnerships from first contact through long-term cooperation.
Today we chat with Bogdan Kelichavyi, a mayor in Ukraine, Mariya Tuzyk, Cities Four Cities International & Local Governance Expert, and SUMA CEO Jean Marc Nadeau.
Together, we will discuss this important partnership between Cities Four Cities and SUMA, and how municipalities across Saskatchewan can partner with municipalities across the Ukraine not only for goodwill, but for knowledge and practical solutions to common municipal issues.
