CIVIC PLATFORM: Mayoral candidate Jenny Motkaluk
Winnipeg Municipal Election 2022
Zuher Almusre, U Multicultural
October 25, 2022
WINNIPEG – On October 26th, Winnipeg heads to the polls to elect its next mayor. Eleven candidates will be on the ballot with a vision of how they will lead Winnipeg for the next five years. Eight candidates have accepted our invitation to convey their plans and promises.
Today, Civic Platform host Zuher Almusre sits down with mayoral candidate Jenny Motkaluk to learn more about her and her platform.
One of Jenny Motkaluk's objectives is celebrating what Winnipeg is, and she believes collaboration is a defining characteristic of Winnipeggers.
Motkaluk has promised to restore money the city cut from the Winnipeg Arts Council's budget with a 10 per cent funding reduction in 2020.
Motkaluk would also push to reverse a decision by The Forks to change Canada Day celebrations and replace the three city-appointed members of The Forks North Portage Partnership board with people who would support her vision for the event.
Motkaluk has pledged to give annual grants to Winnipeg's four largest parades: the Santa Claus Parade, Pride, the Filipino Street Festival and the Sikh community's Nagar Kirtan Parade.
Motkaluk says she wants Winnipeg to do more to recognize cruise night, the tradition of hot rods, vintage cars and other showcase vehicles cruising on Sunday evenings during the warmer months.
Motkaluk has also promised to allow professional wrestling performances in community centres.
