Welcome to Cross Border Interviews, the show where we dive into the insights of municipal political leaders from across Canada.Our mission is to shine a light on the dedicated individuals who, day in and day out, work around the council table to shape the communities we call home. For today’s episode, we are sitting down with Beaumont Councillor Philip Penrod. Beaumont is one of Alberta’s four officially bilingual municipalities and the third-fastest-growing city in Alberta.Located just minutes south of Edmonton in close proximity to the QE2 Highway and Edmonton International Airport, Beaumont has a young, dynamic, and well-educated population of more than 21,000.Since the 1970s, the City of Beaumont has experienced phenomenal population growth, largely due to the housing industry. In fact, from 1978 to 1984, Beaumont recorded population growth rates of no less than 38%. *************************************************** Learn More About Today's Community: https://www.beaumont.ab.ca/*************************************************** Support The Show Today: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/support-the-showJoin The Show: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/be-part-of-the-show ***************************************************Listen To The Show: Apple: https://apple.co/3XwwXIvSpotify: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/cross-border-interviewsYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/crossborderinterviewswithchrisbrown***************************************************Follow Us On Social Media: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crossborderpodcast/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@crossborderpodcast Blusky: https://bsky.app/profile/crossbordernetwork.bsky.socialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/CrossBorderInterviews/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/crossborderinterviews/ Website: https://www.crossborderinterviews.ca/Cross Border Interview is Part of the Cross Border Network© 2025
