🌐To foster better engagement within our network with respect to the Manitoba Budget we conducted a survey of our membership with respect to budget engagement and priorities.

🎉The Manitoba Eco-Network would like to thank everyone for coming out last week to Eco-Drinks at the Devil May Care Brewing Company. We took this opportunity to celebrate the accomplishments and contributions of Lindsay Robinson as he steps down from the Manitoba Eco-Network board. We wish him all the best!

🎉Make sure to come out to the next Eco-Drinks on April 1st from 5-7 PM at Devil May Care taproom, 155A Fort St., Winnipeg.

🗳️This past month, we’ve seen a local example of cross-organizational coalitions making change within Manitoba: the City of Winnipeg Executive Policy Committee’s proposed Safe Access to Vulnerable Infrastructure By-Law was received solely as information, and did not go to a vote at the full council meeting.
