I’ve been hearing from many families in River Park South and across Seine River about what matters most to them. Again and again, I hear how important it is to have a health-care system that is reliable, accessible, and there when folks need it.

That’s exactly what our NDP government is focused on delivering for Manitobans.

One of the most important steps forward is the launch of MediNav, a new online tool that helps you find and book same-day or next-day medical appointments at participating clinics. Instead of waiting in an emergency room for non-emergency care, you can now book an appointment quickly and get the care you need, when you need it.

Spending time in St. Johns feels like being in a neighbourhood that carries its history in plain sight. Moving through the streets reveals a steady character built around landmarks and everyday routines that longtime residents recognize instantly. It is also a living reflection of Winnipeg’s strength and resilience.

One of the biggest anchors is St. Johns Park. Situated along the Red River, it is where a lot of neighbourhood life happens. The warm summers draw families to the playground, children riding bikes, and people cutting through on their way home. It’s also a place where community events pop up from time to time. I always say, if you want the community to show up, host an event at St. John’s Park. The winters are quieter, but it never really feels empty. It is still part of the daily rhythm for many residents.

The heartbeat of St. Johns lives in the small, locally owned businesses that line its streets. From family-run cafés to independent grocers and long-standing repair shops, these businesses are more than places to shop; they are places that keep the community connected.

Residents have a deep appreciation for shopping local. It’s not just about convenience – it’s about trust, familiarity, and investing back into the neighbourhood.
