Episode 75: The Politics of Paradise with Mayor Corrie DiManno | Overheard Podcast (Banff, Alberta) What does it take to lead one of the most beautiful — and most complex — towns in the world? In this episode of the Overheard Podcast, we sit down with Banff Mayor Corrie DiManno to talk about the pressing issues shaping the future of Banff. From housing affordability and the landmark 50 Wolf Street project, to the challenges of wildfire preparedness, traffic congestion, and overtourism, Corrie shares candid insights into the balancing act between preserving Banff’s natural beauty and supporting a thriving community. We also dig into the Banff Community Plan, the Railway Lands redevelopment, and what residents should know ahead of the next municipal election — including who can vote, how to get involved, and why young people should feel empowered to step into politics. Corrie reflects on her journey from being elected to council at 26 to becoming Mayor, the lessons she’s learned along the way, and her hopes for the future of Banff.
