The Southern Chiefs’ Organization (SCO) along with the Treaty One Development Corporation, Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, and Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak invite First Nations leadership, members, and the public to attend the Winnipeg Mayoral Candidates Forum.
When: Tuesday, October 20, 2026, from 6 to 8 pm
Where: Auditorium at the Manitoba Museum, 190 Rupert Avenue, Winnipeg
The event is being live-streamed on Facebook.
This forum provides an important opportunity for Winnipeg mayoral candidates to:
- engage directly with First Nations leadership and members;
- hear the priorities and concerns of First Nations peoples in Winnipeg; and
- speak to how they intend to address matters within the City of Winnipeg’s areas of responsibility.
Discussions will focus on priorities affecting First Nations citizens. This includes:
- housing and homelessness;
- community safety and justice;
- health and mental wellness;
- economic development;
- employment and education;
- First Nations representation in municipal decision-making; and
- stronger relationships between the City of Winnipeg and First Nations leadership.
First Nations voices must be heard in decisions that shape the future of Winnipeg.
This forum creates space for First Nations leadership and members to raise questions directly with mayoral candidates and ensure our priorities, experiences, and perspectives are part of the conversation.
Join us on October 20 or listen and watch the live stream.
