Local governments are the heart and soul of our communities.

Every day, councils and staff across this province work to make sure that residents and businesses have the services, programs, and infrastructure they need to thrive.

Our local leaders don’t step forward for fame or recognition—they run because they care. They want to make life better for the people who call our towns, cities, and rural communities home.

On October 2, 2025, municipalities in Newfoundland and Labrador will head to the polls for their general elections. And for the first time, Local Service Districts will be holding elections as well.

It’s a historic moment—your opportunity to be part of something bigger. A chance to lead, to shape the future of your community, and to truly make your mark.

In the lead-up to election day, conversations are more important than ever. That’s why Dr. Deatra Walsh has launched a new podcast, Municipal Monday, where she speaks with local leaders to educate residents, voters, and prospective candidates alike.

Today, we catch up with Dr. Walsh to hear her perspective on the state of the race—whether apathy is setting in, how local issues are driving voter interest, and how the recent wildfires across the province might impact the election cycle.

This is Municipal Affairs—and it starts right now.
