    December 11, 2020 Honourable Rochelle Squires, Minister of Municipal Relations 344 Legislative Building 450 Broadway Winnipeg, MB R3C 0V8 cc: Premier Brian Pallister Hon. Scott Fielding - Minister of Finance Hon. Heather Stefanson - Minister of Families Hon. Cameron Friesen - Minister of Health, Seniors, and Active Living Hon. Ralph Eichler - Minister of Economic Development & Training Hon. Eileen Clarke - Minister of Indigenous and Northern Relations Hon. Sarah Guillemard - Minister of Conservation and Climate Hon. Cathy Cox - Minister of Sport, Culture, and Heritage Dear Minister Squires, We are writing you today as a group of 11 networks and associations, representing hundreds of organizations serving Manitoba communities. We want to thank you for hosting the roundtable discussion related to Manitoba’s Non-Profit Strategy on November 3, 2020, which some of the undersigned were able to attend. It was a beneficial opportunity to engage directly with the Government of Manitoba. We want to build upon this open and constructive dialogue through a sector table with scheduled, ongoing meetings between our sector and provincial decision-makers, including the Department of Municipal Relations. Multiple Provinces in Canada have established sector tables to serve this purpose, such as the Premier’s Council on Charities and Civil Society in Alberta. This table would enhance the communication and relationships between sector leaders and participating departments, improve the effectiveness of policy and programs targeting community-based organizations, and thereby support Manitoba communities through the COVID-19 crisis and beyond. We see this as an excellent opportunity for input and value-add to your department from agencies on the front- line in Manitoba communities.
