Dear Listeners,

This week on Civically Speaking, we bring you an important two-part episode exploring the stories, issues, and voices shaping Saskatoon.

Part 1: Wildfires, Community Response & Philanthropy in Action
Lenore Swystun sits down with Rachael Steinke, Chief Executive Officer of the Saskatoon Community Foundation, and Fred Reibin, Shareholder Engagement Lead and Brand Manager, to talk about how this season’s wildfires are impacting communities across Saskatchewan—and how local organizations are responding. Rachael and Fred spotlight the role of the Saskatoon Community Foundation, CUMFI (Central Urban Métis Federation Inc.), and the United Way of Saskatoon and Area in mobilizing urgent support and long-term recovery along with other key organizations including the Canadian Red Cross.

Part 2: What’s Making News in Saskatoon
In the second half, we turn to timely civic issues, including the First Ministers’ Meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held recently in Saskatoon. We also check in on the homelessness situation, share thoughts on e-scooters, and round things out with a local summertime classic: a candid (and slightly comedic) rant about revving engines and late-night noise.

Tune in to stay informed, feel connected, and join the civic conversation.

Civically Speaking,

Lenore Swystun with Christina Cherneskey
