Winnipeggers expect clean water from our taps and in our rivers & lakes, , the right help during an emergency, and city tax dollars going to local workers instead of giant corporations.
City Council has handed garbage contracts to big multinational firms, and even replaced our beloved Sal’s with US-based Aramark for bargain basement food at our golf courses. And thats just what we have found out about so far.
People are tired of finding out after the fact.
The Local Guarantee is a way to ask candidates for city council if they are on board with the commonsense idea that Winnipeg should be owned and operated by (and for) Winnipeggers.
Protect our public water system, including our drinking water, our rivers, and Lake Winnipeg, and end sewage dumps. Send the right kind of help by expanding 911 with a 4th public safety branch made up of mental health and social workers. Get the job done faster and safer with neighborhood action teams that fix immediate hazards like pot holes before they turn into sink holes. Hire Winnipeggers first because city jobs shouldn't fund an American millionaire’s yacht. Handle compost with local public jobs to avoid another contract mess, like we saw with garbage collection.
Add your name. We will send your message to the candidates and track who commits.
