967. Township of Armour Mayor Rod Ward

What does it take to lead a rural community through a changing Ontario?

For municipalities like the Township of Armour, leadership means dealing with the fundamentals — roads, infrastructure, local services, economic development — while also thinking about what the community will need years from now.

Today on Cross Border Interviews, we sit down with Township of Armour Mayor Rod Ward.

Our conversation was filmed at the 2026 Fall District of Parry Sound Municipal Association, where we discussed the realities of municipal leadership, the issues facing Armour Township, and the priorities that are shaping its future.

It's a conversation about rural Ontario, the responsibilities of local government, and what it means to serve the people who call a community home.

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