961. Township of Carling Councillor Al Doubrough

In Ontario's Parry Sound District, the realities of municipal government can be very different from those in Canada's larger urban centres.

Here, communities are shaped by rural life, seasonal residents, natural resources, infrastructure needs, and the challenge of providing essential services across a large geographic area.

Those issues were part of the conversation at the 2026 Fall District of Parry Sound Municipal Association, where municipal leaders came together to discuss the challenges and opportunities facing the region.

Today on Cross Border Interviews, we speak with Township of Carling Councillor Al Doubrough.

We'll talk about the issues facing Carling, the realities of serving a rural and waterfront community, and the role local government can play in shaping the future.

It's a conversation about municipal leadership, community priorities, and the people who make these decisions close to home.

I'm Christopher Brown, and this is Cross Border Interviews.
