Governance versus operations

In this episode of Municipal Mondays, Dr. Deatra Walsh is joined by Colin Corcoran of the Community Sector Council of Newfoundland and Labrador for a candid conversation titled Governance Versus Operations. Together, they unpack one of the most common tensions in municipal life—where council’s role ends and staff’s role begins. With clarity, humour, and real-world examples, Colin helps demystify the divide and offers practical tips for building strong, respectful working relationships in local government.
