977. Town of Roddickton-Bide Arm Councillor Lynn Decker Ellsworth

In rural Newfoundland and Labrador, geography can shape almost every aspect of municipal life. Distance, infrastructure, population, and access to services are not simply policy discussions. They're everyday realities for the people who live there.

For communities like Roddickton-Bide Arm, ensuring residents have the services and opportunities they need requires leadership, persistence, and a clear vision.

We travelled to the 75th Municipalities Newfoundland and Labrador Convention in St. John's, where we spoke with Councillor Lynn Decker Ellsworth about the priorities facing her community and the future of rural municipal government.

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