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

September 10, 2014

Upcoming municipal elections provide an opportunity to get priorities of the Canadian CED Network – Manitoba (CCEDNet-MB) on the public policy agenda. Members of CCEDNet-MB have prioritized the following three policy ideas: procurement, housing, and poverty reduction.

Members asked us to send letters to candidates in Winnipeg, Brandon, and Roblin to see if candidates are in favour of these policy areas. We will be sharing their responses.

Actions you can take:

  1. Send your own letter to candidates stating your support for these policy ideas and encouraging candidates to respond to our questions. Please send a copy to kbernas at ccednet-rcdec.ca.
