New Political Party in Winnipeg?

Winnipeg Citizen Coalition founding meeting will be held on June 16, 2008. Guest speaker Shelly Bird of People for a Better Ottawa Coalition will share her experiences.

I guess it is not a party in the traditional sense but a party that will represent the citizens with the municipal government. A by-law will be passed at this meeting and so the show will be on the road.

This Coalition will look at transportation, crime, innercity revitalization, planned economic growth, youth issues, Aboriginal issues, water issues - say this will be a shadow municipal government.

Good luck and I urge citizens to empower themselves and participate fully. Don't leave the city in the hands of a few. We all have a stake in it.
The event will be June 16th at the Millennium Library, Carol Shields Room.
