Speaking Municipally is a proud member of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB. This week we highlighted the Edmonton Community Foundation, which "acts as a bridge between donors and charities to create a strong, vibrant community for generations to come." We also played a clip from the Alberta Forest Products Association, which works to "foster a greater understanding of the economic, environmental, and social values of Alberta’s forests."
