Door knocking across Waverley
Advertisement
This summer my team and I spent a lot of time knocking on doors across Waverley. Every conversation reminded me why I chose to do this work. At your doorsteps, in driveways and on front lawns, you told me about the struggles and hopes you carry for your families. And one message came through clearly: families want real opportunities for good jobs, training that leads to meaningful work, and an economy that allows our kids to build their future right here at home.
That hope is one I share deeply. What I want for your family is the same thing I want for my own. I want our kids to know that they can stay in Manitoba, find opportunity, build careers, and raise their families in the same neighbourhoods where they grew up.
I am proud to be part of Premier Kinew’s team, who is making sure Manitoba has a strong voice on the national and international stage when it comes to economic growth and workforce development. Manitobans deserve investments that create good jobs today and strengthen our communities for the future.
One way this vision is becoming reality is through the 2025–26 Canada-Manitoba Job Grant, now open for applications. This program helps local businesses train both new and existing employees, so our economy grows from the ground up. At the same time, the province is investing in programs that support Manitobans who face barriers to employment, giving more people the chance to step into meaningful work and provide for their families.
These are not abstract policies. These are opportunities that reach into the heart of our neighbourhoods, will support stronger businesses here in Waverley, more good jobs for families across Manitoba, and develop communities that are ready to meet the future with confidence.
When I think about the path ahead, I return to those conversations at your doors this summer. Each one was a reminder that our greatest strength is the people who call this province home. Together we are building a Manitoba where every family has the chance to build a good life.
