Today on MuniCast we are diving into a growing relationship that is taking shape across Saskatchewan, the relationship between Saskatchewan Municipalities and First Nations.Welcome to Season 10 of Muni-Cast.MuniCast is brought to you by SUMA, the voice of Saskatchewan’s urban municipalities. MuniCast discusses topics that are important to municipal leaders, like local governance, best practices, education, and so much more. This season, conversations will dive into how municipalities can get the most value from SUMA’s offerings—from building meaningful connections through networking, to strengthening capacity through education, advancing local priorities through advocacy, and gaining direct access to government officials.Today we are discussing the work between first nations and Saskatchewan Municipalities, whether that is promoting the understanding of Treaty rights and Truth and Reconciliation among Saskatchewan’s urban municipalities and how we can facilitate relationship-building between First Nations and municipalities.We caught up with Former Mayor of Saskatoon, and now Charlie Clark, the Saskatchewan Office of the Treaty Commissioner Treaty Relations Lead, to discuss the work that the OTC does to promote relationship building between First Nations and municipalities, and why it’s important to focus on building those relations today. We now turn our attention to an organization that has been long in building and fostering a relationship between First Nations and municipalities across Eastern Saskatchewan. Sylvite Four-Six is a unique regional partnership formed to prepare for significant growth, catalyzed by one of the largest private sector investments in Saskatchewan history – BHP’s $14B potash mine near Jansen, Saskatchewan. We caught up with Board Chai Brent Sunshine of Fishing Lake First Nation, and Outgoing Vice Chair Joe Day, City Manager for the City of Humboldt. We discuss how working together has strengthened the project, and what they have learned from each other. -----Learn More About SUMA: Website: https://suma.org/Facebook: https://facebook.com/SUMAConnectTwitter: https://twitter.com/SUMAConnectLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/saskatchewan-urban-municipalities-associationInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/suma.connectYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/user/SUMASask-----Listen to the Show: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5QLq7OluynaodZyd7c30DN?si=f67427d5b2ec4483Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/municast/id1750494860Youtube: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLnyOMC0SKIN9AwtusJmC9pLyuaudHP7Bf&si=SnzkKbG0GQvkMLb4-----Music: ‘One Foot On Main Street’ written and performed by Jeffery Straker, used with permission.-----Follow the Cross Border Network: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/crossbordernetwork.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Facebook : https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/MuniCast is made in partnership with SUMA and the Cross Border Network©2026
