This platform is built on a simple belief: a city guided by empathy creates better outcomes for everyone. By prioritizing trust, accountability, inclusion, and collaboration, we can ensure that every resident and business has a voice in shaping the city they call home.
A Pledge to Reinvest in Community Services
The Public Reinvestment Guarantee is a governing principle: public resources should be deliberately reinvested where they can create lasting public value for Winnipeg’s communities.
The goal is simple: strengthen the City’s community-facing capacity so residents can receive the right support, from the right people, at the right time.
This means protecting and strengthening the City’s ability to provide services such as neighbourhood support, community development, youth programs, recreation, prevention, and other frontline services that connect City Hall directly with residents.
The Guarantee also means looking at how public resources are currently allocated and asking a straightforward question:
Are we investing enough in the services that prevent problems, strengthen communities, and improve people’s everyday lives?
The Public Reinvestment Guarantee directs public reinvestment toward community services, prevention, frontline capacity, and neighbourhoods—strengthening the people and services that can prevent problems, improve outcomes, and support residents before they reach a crisis point.
Where resources can be better aligned, those resources should be reinvested into the community services residents rely on rather than simply allowing savings to disappear elsewhere in the budget.
The Vow
As Mayor, I will uphold the Public Reinvestment Guarantee: when we find ways to save, improve, or redirect public resources, we will look first to how those resources can strengthen the community services that residents rely on.
Public money should create public value—and Winnipeg’s communities should see that value.
From what could be possible… to what will be possible.
Campaign Priorities
“Winning Together” – A reminder that the city’s strength comes from the connections we build, the people we include, and the collective effort we put into shaping our shared future.
Five priorities, rooted in where we’ve come from and focused on what comes next:
- Equitable Leadership – Make opportunity, participation, and public investment more accessible and fair.
- Sustainable Future – Build a city that can last for generations.
- Youth Employment – Give the next generation a stake in building Winnipeg.
- Senior Engagement – Keep experience, knowledge, and participation connected to civic life.
- Public Safety – Build a city that can prevent, respond to, and recover from emergencies.
Together, these five priorities define where Winnipeg is going, and the Public Reinvestment Guarantee sets out how we will get there.
Time for a New Start at City Hall
The first 100 days are critical to setting a new tone at City Hall and Chris has been studying regularly how best to implement his lofty goals into his platform, as efficiently and inclusively as possible.
He has created a detailed five pillared plan to ensure accountability in Government and to help safe guard future Governments from potential corruption and ensuring all Winnipeggers have a seat at the table.
An Invitation to Unite Winnipeg Together
I believe in a Winnipeg where no one stands on the sidelines. Where citizens, businesses, and government work together, and not in isolation, to tackle challenges, shape infrastructure, and build a fairer, more inclusive city. Where “collective action” is more than a phrase – it’s how we govern.
