Insights from my interview with Regina's Mayor Masters

Recently, I sat down with Mayor Sandra Masters of Regina for a candid conversation on my radio show, Get Chatty with Kathy on CJTR 91.3FM, Regina’s Community Radio. Our discussion provided a fascinating glimpse into the world of municipal governance and left me with several key insights that I'm excited to share.

One of the most significant takeaways from this experience was the importance of resilience. When I initially reached out to Mayor Masters about appearing on my show nearly a year ago, the timing wasn't right. However, I decided to follow up on my request almost a year later, and to my delight, she agreed! This experience reinforced the valuable lesson that perseverance often leads to positive outcomes, even if it requires patience.

As a mother of two children ages 8 and 10 the decisions that happen on a municipal level are very important to my family’s day to day life. Mayor Masters highlighted initiatives aimed at improving the city's livability, such as the creation of a winter city and the development of a new indoor water facility. These projects not only enhance the quality of life for residents but also reflect a commitment to building a vibrant and family-friendly community.

Throughout our conversation, it became clear that Mayor Masters is deeply dedicated to driving progress and positive change in Regina. Her optimism and enthusiasm for the city's future were palpable as she discussed the ongoing efforts of her team to move the city forward. She described a sense of momentum building within the community, noting, "You can feel it bubbling beneath the surface... I finally feel like everything's rolling in the right direction. The seeds are planted."

Mayor Masters discussed the importance of economic development and job creation in ensuring the long-term prosperity of Regina. She emphasized the need for strategic investments to drive economic growth and create opportunities for residents. Her dedication to progress, commitment to community well-being, and vision for the city's future are inspiring. I am hopeful that we might rejuvenate the feel from back in the Pat Fiacco “I love Regina” days. As we look ahead, let's draw inspiration from Mayor Masters' example and work together to build a brighter and more prosperous future for Regina.

My conversation with Mayor Sandra Masters provided valuable insights into the opportunities and challenges facing Regina. While there are certainly obstacles to overcome, Mayor Masters' unwavering dedication to progress and her vision for the city's future are inspiring. By working together and leveraging the strengths of our community, we can build a brighter and more prosperous future for Regina –one that reflects the values and aspirations of Regina.

With the upcoming municipal election, are you going to vote? Regina had a 21% voter turnout for our 2020 municipal election, slightly more than 2016. With the amount of influence the mayor has on our city, you would think more people would be showing up!

Each day I do my best to show up for our community and try shed some light on all the great things happening here. Find out more on my Instagram, and join the conversation.
