We need a Mayor who will make real progress NOW on our biggest challenges including homelessness, public safety, climate change and infrastructure.

Winnipeg is stuck. For too long City Hall has focussed on managing problems which has lead to overburdened emergency services, ever increasing infrastructure deficits, underfunded services and young people leaving our city for better opportunities elsewhere.

It is time we move on from endless debates about whether we should cut our way or spend our way out of our problems. I favour taking new approaches to getting things done when it is obvious that the old systems no longer work. 

Shaun’s story

 
 

My name is Shaun and I’m running for Mayor

The day I decided to run for Mayor of Winnipeg I was helping to clean up an abandoned homeless camp near our home in St. Boniface. As I was picking up garbage, I realized that a woman had been living there. I noticed a large split in a cottonwood tree where she’d sought shelter. I told myself then and there:  “What we are doing clearly isn’t working, it doesn’t have to be this way, we have to act now”.  I don’t know her name, but I think about her every day. I want her to know that I have her back, and I’d love to know you have her back too.

In my work life, I’m an entrepreneur, author and economist. In my home life, my partner Fiona and I have raised our three boys here.

I’m running for Mayor because I have the experience that Winnipeg needs NOW:

  • fixing broken systems 

  • creating jobs where none existed  

  • preventing crime 

  • saving tax dollars by addressing big city issues  

  • seizing issues and turning them into opportunities for citizens

Our campaign will offer bold and transformative ideas that will get us the modern city that we all want and deserve.

People try to put me in a box - either left wing or right wing - but I’m results oriented and think we should just do what makes sense. I have the experience, vision, and courage to do things differently.

I’m in this race because NOW is our moment to make our city more compassionate, progressive and effective.
