Strong, Fair, and Sustainable Communities through Manitoba’s Municipal Elections – Candidates’ Responses

With municipal elections coming up across Manitoba, staff and members of the Canadian CED Network – Manitoba (CCEDNet-MB) called on candidates to share their position on policies that support our collective vision of fairer and stronger local economies, reduced poverty, and more sustainable communities. In particular members of CCEDNet-MB prioritized the following three policy ideas: procurement, housing, and poverty reduction
