The Winning Momentum Podcast with Scott Sinclair
Winning Momentum is for business leaders, entrepreneurs, owner managers, related professionals and students of business. It is about improved business performance, leadership and crisis management. Turning negative momentum into positive momentum that, in turn, renews energy and passion, attracts resources, both human and financial, and relieves the destructive personal and family pressures that come with a struggling business. Winning Momentum content consists of three parts: 1. Leadership Skills: Because troubled businesses need leadership to change. 2. Mindset Development: Because troubled businesses are always limited by the personal habits and mental filters of its leaders. 3. Technical Skills: Because running out of money during a turnaround is not an option.

In December 2025, the City of Fernie released more than 24 million litres of raw sewage and stormwater into the Elk River. The problem behind it has been known since 2011 — and the city is now formally out of compliance with the Province.
In this episode of Winning Momentum, host Scott Sinclair sits down with engineer and Fernie city councillor Harshan Ramadass — candidate for Mayor of Fernie — for a long-form deep dive into the wastewater crisis: how it happened, why it's gone unsolved for over a decade, what it will actually take to fix, and what it says about how our city sets priorities and gets things done.
⏱️ WHAT WE COVER
- Is wastewater a priority — and who's the right person to finally fix it
- Why a problem identified in 2011 still isn't solved
- The root cause: the treatment plant vs. the aging pipes
- The real fix — what it takes, what it costs, and who pays
- Getting it done: moving it through council and senior governments
- What the wastewater story reveals about leadership at City Hall
🗳️ Fernie votes October 17, 2026.
