Nate is joined on this episode by Timmins Mayor, Michelle Boileau. First elected as a councillor in 2018, she’s a born and raised northerner, a proud Franco-Ontarian, she has a range of different experiences in the post-secondary sector, and at only 34, she represents thoughtful generational change, with a focus on serious long-term impacts rather than short-term election cycles.And while she also ran as a federal Liberal candidate in the 2019 election, she has taken a positive and non-partisan approach to her work.This is the second in a series we’ll continue, focused on the civic leadership we need. Our last episode with Mayor Amy Martin covered some of the issues faced in southwestern rural Ontario, and this conversation with Mayor Boileau is squarely focused on the needs of her northern municipality.
