The Year that Was - a Look Back at Richmond County Council First Year
ARICHAT - The latest edition of TELILE 24/7 features several items from the Richmond Municipal Council table, including a look back on the first year of the current council term and discussions on mental health service delivery in Nova Scotia and a Cape Breton-wide program designed to connect the island's food producers with its restaurant industry.
1:30: Comments from Warden Amanda Mombourquette and her four fellow elected councilors in Richmond County on the municipality's progress since Richmond voters swept out the previous five councilors in the 2020 municipal elections.
7:11: Interview with Karn Nichols, the executive director of the Nova Scotia division of the Canadian Mental Health Association. She assumed her post in July, one month before the election of a new provincial PC government that pledged to make mental health a top priority. Nichols says she has already had positive discussions with new Minister of Mental Health Brian Comer and is optimistic about her group's future relationship with the province.
32:04: Richmond County Warden Amanda Mombourquette explains why her municipal council struck a new inter-municipal deal with the Cape Breton Regional Enterprise Network while also providing funding to the Cape Breton Partnership for the new Strait of Canso Gateway Strategy and the Raising the Villages early childhood initiative.
40:29: Interview with the executive director of the Cape Breton Food Hub, Alicia Lake, about how her group has expanded from a pilot project in 2015 to an island-wide food hub that now works to connect producers of home-grown food - including six in Richmond County - with restauranteurs all over the island.
