Today, we are kicking off a new Season of Muni-Cast.

And on the season 10 Premiere of MuniCast, we are talking about a Major upcoming event for SUMA. Convention 2026, which will be taking place in Regina from April 12th to April 15th, under the theme ‘Foundation of Urban Strength"

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.

Whether you’re looking for practical insights, new perspectives, or opportunities to stay informed and connected, Season 10 of MuniCast will deliver conversations that support and strengthen your municipal leadership journey.

We begin Season 10 with an interview with SUMA President Randy Goulden regarding this year’s Convention and Shauna Foster, the Master of Ceremonies at this year's Convention.
