Hi #MGMT0180 classmates! Since the course is coming to an end, what was your favorite part? I think my favorite part was doing the Padlet assignments. I thought that they were a unique way to submit our projects, and also learn more about other classmates! 😀

I always do this 😂 #mgmt0180

That's pretty cool ! 😁 ##mgmt0180

Hopefully I'll get a chance to go next time ! #mgmt0180 nice you had a good time !

Hey classmates of #MGMT0180, did anyone attend the Fall Convention for AMM this past week? I wasn't able to attend, wanted to hear some of your thoughts if any one of you had a chance to attend! What was your favorite part?

It is great to jump into municipal administration! Im really enjoying it on my end, how are you liking it so far? #mgmt0180

Thats exciting! And must be nerve racking taking minutes for a public hearing of over 200 people! Im looking forward to attending my first public hearing one day ! #mgmt0180

The RM of Grahamdale only has by-law officers come out when requested (due to budgets, etc) it would be nice if they had regular hours to enforce different by-laws, would help in the long run when getting phone calls from residents about enforcing said bylaws! #mgmt0180

I agree! Especially seeing the different mill rates for reserve funds, etc. Everyone has something important to fund for in each different municipality! #mgmt0180

Same here ! 😅 #mgmt0180

Im not sure, but I agree, I think a bit more involvement would help with answering questions and explaining how to do some of the assignments ! #mgmt0180

Yes I agree! There is so much to memorize, and I feel like Dory from Finding Nemo 😅

Same here I finally picked one this afternoon and went with it, hopefully it turns out well 🤞 #mgmt0180

Hey #MGMT0180 classmates, is anyone else struggling with finding a story to write your case analysis on? I keep picking a story and changing my mind halfway through 🫠, as well as, are you guys doing a structured case analysis or writing it in an essay format? HELP 😅

I do! I never realized everything a municipality does for its residents. I like being a part of team where you get to help residents with every day tasks! Being an administrative assistant is the best job I've ever had! #mgmt0180

I think there's a lack of information given to the public, I don't think most residents know when elections are coming and how to even run for Council. Do most residents know who their Councillors are? Before working in a municipal office, I didn't! #mgmt0180

That's insane! Crazy to think what people think they can get away with! 😱 #mgmt0180

Understanding the CAO-Council relationship: Is this the key to a healthy, sustainable organization? - Municipal World Serving in the public sector at the local government level gives insight into the unique nature of the CAO/Council relationship.

I found an interesting article on CAO and Council relationships, fascinating to see what the CAO has to do regularly with Council to not only run the Municipality but also build relationships with their councillors to ensure operations run smoothly. #MGMT0180

Definitely 😅

Yes, I agree, having a strong backbone is definitely important. I loved reading your Padlet post, very interesting! #mgmt0180 #welldone 👏

Hey #MGMT0180 classmates, what do you think is the CAO's Super Power? I believe that one of the traits a CAO needs in order to be successful is adapting to and driving change within a municipality. I'd love to hear your thoughts on which trait you chose and why!

Hey #MGMT0180 classmates! What did everyone think about this week's group project assignment? What were some challenges you came across? I'd like to discuss the assignment with everyone! #thoughts? #opentodiscussion

hopefully it ends soon, it's definitely affecting us out here in the RM of Grahamdale as well #mgmt0180

Good luck on the quiz ! Im also excited that municipal elections are happening next year, going to put our learnings to the test 💪 #mgmt0180

love this, that meme is hilarious 😂 that's why you should always vote in your municipal election! #mgmt0180

Agree! Personally I never learned enough about voting or politics in school, I think getting younger people interested at a young age would help with voting turnout for sure! #mgmt0180

I hate the character limit 😅 I did the same thing when trying to make my post this morning ! #increasethecharacterlimit #mgmt0180

Agree! Need to spread the word and social media is a great way to spread knowledge and information! #MGMT0180

Found a great chart while researching municipal government—amazing to see how many local services fall under the municipal level of government. A powerful reminder of why voting in municipal elections matters! #mgmt0180
