Winnipeg municipal election: disability community consultation
I am working on a project to amplify the voices of Winnipeg’s disability community this election. Comment below with your thoughts about what our mayor and city council candidates should prioritize to make Winnipeg accessible.
To get things started, here is a list of topics we want to ask the candidates about. How has city hall measured up since the last election in these areas? What should candidates include in their campaigns to get your votes?

Affordable and accessible transportation options
Accessible sidewalks, crossings and public spaces
Accessibility of municipal facilities
Accessible recreation and community programming
Disability-inclusive emergency planning
Accessible communication and City information
Employment and economic inclusion
Consultation and meaningful participation of people with disabilities
