Dan Mazier, Member of Parliament for Riding Mountain, told the crowd, “Parks Canada may control the gates, but Clear Lake belongs to the people,” he said.
Cathy Campbell and her merry band of committed citizens have worked to expand the greenery beyond the Church, making the street welcoming to all.
“There were over 600 people in the room,” said Schindler. “Everyone was looking for answers, and the turnout reflected just how many concerns people had.”

Overview

  • Alberta, Saskatchewan and Ontario have formed a formal coalition to develop dedicated routes for mineral, oil, gas and agricultural exports.
  • The group is actively lobbying the federal government to repeal nine statutes it labels overburdened, aiming to cut red tape on cross-country corridors.
  • Manitoba’s absence from the pact has drawn criticism from local officials and business leaders who urge Premier Wab Kinew to join.
  • In Winnipeg, Street Links is collaborating with city officials on a pilot for designated homeless encampments modeled on Halifax’s sanctioned sites.
  • Recent U.S. tariffs and federal regulatory delays have weakened Canada’s export competitiveness, prompting provinces to push for corridor reforms to strengthen market access.
