Well look at that – Civic Election Day is less that three weeks out across the Province!  Thanks to the dedicated volunteers who are active in the various Mayoralty, Councillor and School Board Trustee campaigns – some exciting possibilities exist for the election of progressive people to these important posts.

It’s absolutely key that we identify the voters who are prepared to support our candidates, so, if you haven’t already, volunteer in a campaign in your community and let’s get this done!

October 22nd is election day, the day the rubber meets the road and we work hard to make sure we get all of our identified supports to the polls and our candidates elected/

In Winnipeg, the Winnipeg Labour Council released its list of endorsed candidates earlier this year, advising us that these are individuals who share many of our views and values.  Here they are!
