Unveiling our Public Policy Road Map for Manitoba’s Social, Economic, and Environmental Future
We are proud and excited to unveil the Canadian CED Network Manitoba’s newly revitalized Public Policy Road Map. Over the past two years, members have shared that our movement requires an organized articulation of our collective vision for Manitoba’s future.
These are the priorities of our Network - reimagined as a Public Policy Road Map for Manitoba’s Social, Economic, and Environmental Future. While just in time for Tuesday’s provincial election, this Road Map will guide our advocacy, organizing, and collective voice every day of the year, no matter the results on Tuesday night.
Read the Road Map here!
It is our collective belief that if Manitoba follows this Road Map rooted in a Community Economic Development vision, our social, economic, and environmental future will be stronger and our communities will be more inclusive, democratic, and sustainable.
When taken all together, the recommendations proposed in this document, while not exhaustive, represent solutions to some of Manitoba’s most challenging, interconnected issues.
As members know, our public policy mandate is the result of a democratic decision-making process. Every year, members work together to create a pragmatic, wide-ranging and solutions-focused set of public policy resolutions. This is the result.
When you go to vote on Tuesday, consider this Road Map when you make your decision. Ask your candidates when they knock on your door if they’ll support a Community Economic Development vision for Manitoba’s future. Copies of this Road Map will be sent to every elected MLA after the election.
In the coming days, we’ll be posting a party platform analysis, up against our revamped Public Policy Road Map on our Manitoba Votes Resource Page.
Our Collective Vision is: Sustainable and inclusive communities directing their own social, economic and environmental futures.
Together, we're focused on:
- Ending Poverty
- Local & Fair Economies
- Tackling Climate Change
- Sustainable Community-Led Development
- Inclusion, Diversity, Equity & Access
- Democracy & Directing our Own Future
