What happens when you sit down with a mayor who doesn't speak in political talking points?

In this episode of The Okotoks Podcast, I sit down with Mayor Craig Snodgrass for one of the most open and candid municipal conversations I've had. Craig has earned a reputation for saying exactly what he believes, and whether you agree with him or not, you always know where he stands.

We dive into some of the biggest topics shaping High River today, including:

• The new aquatic centre and how the town made the project a reality.
• Why High River continues to attract new residents and businesses.
• The lessons learned from the devastating 2013 flood and how flood mitigation has transformed the community.
• High River's growing film industry and the economic opportunities it creates.
• The "Water Not Coal" movement and why protecting Alberta's Eastern Slopes has become such a passionate issue for Craig and many southern Albertans.
• What it takes to lead a community through both opportunity and controversy.

Throughout the conversation, Craig answers every question directly, without dancing around the issues. It's a refreshing discussion about leadership, community building, transparency, and making decisions that will shape High River for decades to come.

Whether you live in High River, Okotoks, or anywhere in Alberta, this episode offers valuable insight into the challenges and opportunities facing municipalities today.
