John ,

Our EDA met again last night and it was a great and productive meeting! Thank you to all who were able to join us and be in attendance.

The usual 'board meeting' agenda items were dealt with along with a few pressing issues. We are working hard to bring new life and stability to the board and we believe progress is being made.

We have a new president, Kathrine from the Portage area, as well as a new membership director, Tiina from the Winkler/Morden area. Both have been on the board for various lengths of time and are just stepping into their new roles.

To communicate with the board, please email us at : [email protected] . For anything related to membership enquiries (updating, donations/fundraising etc) please email [email protected] .

There is a LOT of great info and links out there that we would love to share with you, but we also don't want to overwhelm you with too much content either. So please reach out and let us know what you'd like to receive from us.

Yesterday, Winnipeg Alternative Media was at the Law Courts in Winnipeg for the JCCF vs. Manitoba lawsuit. If you haven't already seen it, here's the link to the video footage (it's long, but there are other clips available on FB):   https://www.facebook.com/WinnipegAlternativeMedia/videos/286513979808436  

There was also a freedom rally held over the weekend in the Winkler/Morden area with a significant turnout! We have connected with the organizer and are looking forward to coordinating our efforts.

Due to technical issues experienced with our previous Twitter account, we have started a new one. You can find us at Portage-Lisgar EDA Twitter .

We are STILL looking for more people to join us on the board.

We are tentatively scheduling a

PUBLIC town hall meeting for June 14th.

We encourage you to email us at [email protected] to let us know that you'd like to participate and be sent a link.

Are you GREAT with websites?

Our website needs YOUR HELP!

As you likely know, ours could use some help and updating! Are you familiar with or knowledgeable with Nation Builder? If so, or if you know someone, we'd LOVE to hear from you! Again, please contact the Regional Coordinator  [email protected]

Thank you for continuing to choose to hear from us. We value your voice too and would love to hear from you, so please do reach out!
