Strengthening our community
One of the best parts of living and working in Southdale is seeing how people show up for one another every single day. Whether it’s families coming together at local events, students pushing toward new goals, or small businesses keeping our neighbourhood vibrant, the sense of care and connection in our community is always front and centre.
Our government is committed to building on that strong foundation by investing in the services we all count on and by working alongside communities to advance local priorities in meaningful and practical ways.

A key part of that work is supporting public education. For the 2026–27 school year, our government is increasing funding for public schools by $79.8 million, bringing the total provincial investment to $1.995 billion. This funding will help school divisions respond to enrolment changes, support classroom learning, and ensure students and educators have what they need to succeed. Continued investments in building new schools and the universal school nutrition program are also helping create learning environments where every student feels supported and ready to thrive.
Keeping families safe is another priority across Manitoba. Through the Manitoba security rebate program, homeowners and renters can receive up to $300 to help cover the cost of security equipment like cameras, lighting, and alarm systems. Small businesses can also benefit from the business security rebate program, which provides up to $2,500 for repairs and security upgrades. Together, these programs strengthen neighbourhoods, support local businesses, and help protect homes across the province.
On Feb. 7, I had the pleasure of joining many neighbourhood families at the winter carnival at Winakwa Community Centre. Thanks to the many staff and volunteers who bring this event to life. From the jam-can curling tournament to the candy scramble and board games, there is truly something for everyone.
I am also pleased to share that I have officially been nominated as your New Democratic Party candidate for Southdale for the next provincial election. It is my honour to serve our community, and I look forward to continuing to do that important work.
