Speaking Municipally is a proud member of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB. This week we talked Snow and Tell, a new podcast from Winter City Edmonton that "explores how the right attitudes can uncover the opportunities and potential in winter cities." We also highlighted Park Power, "a provider of electricity and natural gas in Alberta that offers low rates, awesome service, and profit-sharing with local charities."
