“Congratulations to all those elected to municipal office across Manitoba, and to every candidate who stepped forward to serve. Public service carries an important responsibility, and these elections provide an opportunity to build relationships and work together on issues that affect the people we represent,” said Grand Chief Kyra Wilson of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs.

“First Nations and municipalities have a long history of living alongside one another. Our governments are connected through our lands, our economies, our families and our shared responsibilities. Strong relationships between First Nations leadership and municipal governments are essential to addressing the challenges and opportunities before us.”

“Strong relationships are built through consistent communication, trust and a willingness to listen to one another. We look forward to working with municipal leaders who recognize the importance of building respectful relationships with First Nations governments and who are prepared to work together on matters of mutual interest while respecting our respective rights and responsibilities,” Grand Chief Wilson said.
