TELILE 24/7 PODCAST #3: Iain Rankin and Maggie MacDonald
PORT HAWKESBURY - Two people hoping to bring great change to everyday life in Nova Scotia are Adam Cooke's guests on the latest edition of the TELILE 24/7 Podcast.
Iain Rankin has been the Liberal MLA for the Halifax-area riding of Timberlea-Prospect for the past eight years, serving as the provincial minister for Nova Scotia's Departments of Lands and Forestry and Environment during that stretch. As one of the three people seeking to replace outgoing Premier Stephen McNeil when the Nova Scotia Liberal Party chooses its new leader this February, Rankin is hoping to launch an aggressive agenda centering on climate change and renewable energy, while stimulating such economic cogs as tourism, small business and community development.
Maggie MacDonald was hired this past summer as the official Health Care Recruitment Navigator for the Cape Breton South: Recruiting For Health Committee, which took shape this past December. The committee's most recent successes came earlier this fall, when two locum doctors from Ontario began pulling shifts at St. Martha's Regional Hospital in Antigonish, the Strait-Richmond Hospital in Evanston, Port Hawkesbury's new Collaborative Care Centre, and the Dr. William B. Kingston Memorial Health Centre in L'Ardoise. MacDonald hopes to build on this recent success in early 2021 and beyond.
