9Students Say Thanks for Support 3 a Vision for CMU 6A Modern Day
3 A Vision For CMU 6 A Modern Day Miracle 9 Students say thanks for support THE CANADIAN MENNONITE UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE r WINTER 2008 Editor’s Note he transition from high school to univer- sity is a challenging time for Christian T youth. It is a time when they ask: “Who am I?” “What do I believe?” And “Why do I believe it?” If they don’t take time to wrestle with those questions, they run the risk of hav- ing someone else supply the answers. It’s also a time for finding out what they should do with their lives. In his book, After Virtue, philosopher Alasdair MacIntyre writes: “I Kirsten Hamm of Altona, Man. writes a note of gratitude on the “Wall ‘O Thanks” during the November can only answer the question ‘What am I to do?’ 26 Tuition Freedom Day at CMU.

Heather Stefanson Finding and Maintaining the Balance by Brian Campbell Politics Has Been Part of Heather Stefanson’S Life, Almost from the Very Beginning
Heather Stefanson Finding and Maintaining the Balance by Brian Campbell Politics has been part of Heather Stefanson’s life, almost from the very beginning. Over the years she has been involved in both Federal and Provincial politics, either as a volunteer, an employee, or as an elected official. However, being a political mom has its challenges. Heather says, “The most challenging part is balancing family life, with kids who play hockey and volley ball and ultimate (Frisbee) and soccer and all their other sports and birthday parties and other special occasions; and at times I have committee, or we’re in session and the time is not my own.” “My kids were born into this,” Heather says. “I was elected before they were born.” Heather and Jason have two children; Victoria (14) and Tommy (12) and she says that the secret to the balance is that, “I have a great supportive husband. He travels a lot, but he is very helpful when he is home.” Heather’s political future began to take shape when, after graduating from St. John’s-Ravenscourt, she went to the University of Western Ontario in London, Ontario to get her undergraduate degree in Political Science. From there she moved to Ottawa to take a job as Special Assistant in the Prime Minister’s office under Brian Mulroney. But Heather’s interest in politics goes back even further than that. Her father ran against Lloyd Axworthy in 1977. “I can recall going door to door when I was seven years old,” Heather says. “And it was a lot of fun. -

News Release
Press Release April 24, 2014 For Immediate Release Habitat for Humanity Resolution Passes Unanimously Habitat for Humanity’s important work helps create affordable housing: Mitchelson Today, Progressive Conservative MLA Bonnie Mitchelson (River East) sponsored a Private Member’s Resolution celebrating the good work of Habitat for Humanity. It received unanimous support at the Manitoba Legislature. “I am proud to have presented this resolution to honour the decades of great works done by Habitat for Humanity in Manitoba,” said River East MLA Bonnie Mitchelson, the resolution’s sponsor. “The work they do in more than 15 communities across Manitoba builds much needed affordable housing, and helps break the cycle of poverty far too many live in.” Habitat for Humanity Manitoba was first active in Manitoba in 1985 with the construction of a home in Winkler. Since then, more than 300 homes have been built through the support of community donations, volunteer efforts of more than 2,000 people each year and by 40 staff members. “It is particularly important for us when so many of our volunteers and board members toil tirelessly with little recognition to see the way their work is appreciated by the most important body in the province,” Habitat for Humanity CEO Sandy Hopkins said. “I am deeply grateful the organization has been recognized in this fashion and we thank Bonnie for presenting the resolution.” Safe, affordable housing is a critical component to building stronger communities. Through Habitat for Humanity, Manitobans who may not otherwise be able to own their own home gain self-esteem and pride that comes with home ownership through a no interest, no down payment mortgage. -
Selecting Selinger: the 2009 Leadership Race and the Future of NDP Conventions in Manitoba∗
Selecting Selinger: The 2009 Leadership Race and the Future of NDP Conventions in Manitoba∗ Jared J. Wesley, University of Manitoba [email protected] Paper for Presentation at The Annual Meeting of the Canadian Political Science Association Concordia University, Montreal June 2010 Abstract In a delegated convention held in October, 2009, the Manitoba New Democratic Party (NDP) selected former Finance Minister Greg Selinger to replace Canada's longest-serving and most popular premier, Gary Doer. Official appeals filed by the victor’s chief rival, Steve Ashton, and persistent criticism of the process in the media raised significant concerns over the method by which the new premier was selected. These complaints proved a fleeting fixation of the media, and have not harmed the NDP’s popularity or affected the smooth transition of the premiership from Doer to Selinger. Yet, questions persist as to whether the 2009 leadership race marked the last delegated convention in the history of the Manitoba New Democratic Party. This paper examines the 2009 leadership race in the context of contests past, analyzing the list of criticisms directed at the process. Grounding its findings in the comments of delegates to the 2009 Convention, it concludes with a series of probable choices for the party, as it begins the process of considering reforms to its leadership selection process. Leading contenders for adoption include a pure one-member, one-vote system and a modified version similar to that of the federal NDP. ∗ Funding for the 2009 Manitoba NDP Convention Study was provided by the Faculty of Arts, Duff Roblin Professorship, and Department of Political Studies at the University of Manitoba, and the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Politics and Governance. -
