Save the Date: Leadership Convention Dinner

Dear friends,

With Leadership 2017 delegate selection voting officially underway, I wanted to let you know about a special event for our party.

On September 15th, the party will host a Leadership Convention Dinner at the RBC Convention Centre (375 York Ave) in downtown Winnipeg. The event will feature our leadership candidates — Steve Ashton & Wab Kinew — and takes place the night before the September 16th Leadership Convention.

This event is a special opportunity for New Democrats to come together and celebrate the work we've shared during the leadership race.

Pallister’s Political Timeline Damaging Health-Care System: NDP Calls for Halt to Ill-conceived Cuts

Today’s WRHA announcement is an admission they are not prepared for the closure of the Victoria emergency care room and the Misericordia urgent care centre, said NDP Health Critic Matt Wiebe, who called on the government to halt this politically driven exercise.

“Day after day, it is becoming clearer that the government’s agenda is to cut costs not improve patient care,” said Wiebe. “They cut services first and figure out their plans later.”
