ISSUE: Clean Water for First Nation Communities
As the Winnipeg Free Press’s series “No Running Water” has more than amply demonstrated, the NDP have badly neglected northern communities. More than 1400 homes have no running water. This is the legacy of 12 years of NDP inaction.
Manitoba Liberals are promoting a petition to get action to ensure all Manitobans have access to clear running water, and to be sure that First Nations communities in our province are treated fairly.
To add your voice, please print a copy of this release petition, then gather signatures, and bring or send the petition in to Jon Gerrard’s office in the Legislature –
Jon Gerrard MLA-River Heights, Leader-Manitoba Liberal Party, Room 169, Manitoba Legislature, 450 Broadway, Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8.
