Not all women are born feminists. Maureen Towle, the Assistant Deputy Minister for Service Alberta Data, Information and Privacy Services Division within the Government of Alberta, says that for a long time she didn’t support days focused on women or the issues that feminism represented. In part this may be because for most of her childhood, she didn’t notice the little things that other women did, though they were there. On top of that, for her career before politics, she worked in female dominated disciplines, mostly in admin support, with many women, so the issues around feminism were not as …

Marketing and Communications for Municipalities

Most organizations, especially in the public sector, are constantly looking to improve their marketing and communications in order to better connect with their constituents. This is especially the case in the local government sector. Municipalities work locally and therefore want their messages to resonate with their residents. But given the constant barrage of news and information, it is often hard to create messages that have meaning. Partly for that reason, Edmonton Global was created in Alberta in early 2019.

The Town of Bridgewater, on the south shore of Nova Scotia, was determined to not be left behind. Leon de Vreede, the Sustainability Planner within the Community Development Department of Town of Bridgewater, says that despite their meagre population of 8,600, for a decade or so they have been undertaking innovation related initiatives particularly in the field of energy and climate.

Navigating a Changing Workplace and Building Better Policies and Teams for the Future

The City of Toronto, like so many other government institutions across the world, has a large real estate holding. In fact, during the COVID-19 lockdowns, when most people were consigned to working from home, they discovered that their footprint was possibly too large, and this has been borne out even more now that many workers are coming back to the office. Not only is not everyone back yet, but many of those that are back don’t want to work in the office five days a week and want to collaborate more with their colleagues. All of this has come to …
