  • 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.

    Women of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba Trailblazers OF THE FIRST 100 YEARS 1916 – 2016 TIVE ASS LA EM IS B G L E Y L MANITOBA On January 28, 1916, Bill No. 4 – An Act to amend “The Manitoba Election Act” received Royal Assent. The passage of this Act granted most Manitoba women the right to vote and to run for public office. Manitoba was the first province in Canada to win the right to vote for women. Nellie McClung was one of the Manitoba women involved in campaigning for the women’s right to vote in 1916. She was also one of Canada’s Famous Five who initiated and won the Persons Case, to have women become recognized as persons under Canadian law in 1929. In recognition of Manitoba’s centennial of most women receiving the right to vote, we pay tribute to a select handful of women trailblazers who achieved first in their field since that time. 2 TRAILBLAZERS 1916 - 2016 Trailblazers OF THE FIRST 100 YEARS Foreword by JoAnn McKerlie-Korol, Director of Education and Outreach Services of the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba On January 28, 1916, legislation passed that granted women the right to vote and to run for public office. On June 29, 1920, the first woman, Edith Rogers, was elected to represent the constituency of Winnipeg. This was just the beginning of the “firsts” for Manitoba’s women in the Legislative Assembly. Celebrating the first 100 years since the passage of this legislation, only 51 women have been elected to the Manitoba Legislative Assembly as elected MLAs and only a small number have served as Officers of the Legislative Assembly.

  • Japanese Canadians Japanese Canadians Have Lived in Canada Since the 1870S, Mostly in British Columbia
    Context card EC 99671- JC (03/2020) Case study: Japanese Canadians Japanese Canadians have lived in Canada since the 1870s, mostly in British Columbia. In this province, they worked as fishers, farmers and business owners. Due to racism, the British Columbia government banned Japanese Canadians who lived there from voting in provincial elections. This ban also affected their right to vote in federal elections. Canada fought with Japan in the Second World War (1939–1945). During this time, Japanese Canadians lost even more democratic rights. The government thought that Japanese Canadians threatened Canada’s security and forced them to move away from the Pacific Coast. They could not vote in federal elections, no matter which province they lived in. Japanese Canadians were finally allowed to vote in all federal and provincial elections in 1948. In the years that followed, Japanese Canadians asked for an apology. They finally got one in 1988, when the federal government formally Source: CWM 20150279-001_p21, George Metcalf Archival apologized for past wrongs.

    Legislating Jordan’s Principle: An Indirect Success ADAM NATHANSON I. INTRODUCTION t age four, Jordan Anderson passed away in the hospital. He never lived in A a home environment. Several years passed before Dr. Jon Gerrard requested to set aside the ordinary business of the Manitoba Legislative Assembly to make this a matter of urgent public importance. To some members of the House, there remained no greater concern than the crisis within Manitoba‘s Child and Family Services divisions. Children were not being treated equally, denied the love of their families, and dying in the system. Notwithstanding this exigency, the Speaker of the House deemed Dr. Gerrard‘s discussion as not pressing enough to give the matter immediate attention. Three days later, on 24 November 2008, the Liberal party reintroduced The Jordan‘s Principle Implementation Act.1 The bill never made it to second reading. Six months prior, the bill‘s predecessor of the same title did not make it past second reading.2 The names, preambles, definitions, and provisions of both bills remained identical. This paper identifies the problems leading to Jordan‘s Principle, as well as Dr. Gerrard‘s connection with the issue. Discussion will focus on the reception of Bill 203 in the Legislature, the federal-provincial agreement and terms of reference to implement Jordan‘s Principle in Manitoba, the September 2008 House Resolution, and examples of Jordan‘s Principle in action. Weaving through this fabric is a virtuous idea: children‘s needs should be placed first when faced with jurisdictional disputes between governments. Looking through the provisions of both bills, however, one sees a legislative solution many in the Legislature labelled pointless.
