🌍 Global Policies, Local Impact: What You Need to Know
Municipalities across Canada, including those in Manitoba, are being pressured into adopting global climate initiatives that come with hidden costs, long-term commitments, and increased government overreach.
This is your chance to understand the full picture and explore how Manitobans can protect local governance and real environmental stewardship without surrendering control to international organizations.
🔎 What We’ll Cover:
✅ How municipalities are being pressured into global climate initiatives
✅ The hidden costs and long-term commitments of Net Zero policies
✅ The role of ICLEI (Local Governments for Sustainability), FCM (Federation of Canadian Municipalities), and PCP (Partners for Climate Protection) in shaping local environmental policies
✅ Why these programs are voluntary – and how municipalities can choose to withdraw
✅ Success stories from communities that have fought back and regained control over their own policies
✅ Action steps for Manitobans who want to protect their local governance and advocate for practical, community-driven solutions
📢 Why This Event Matters
More and more municipalities are committing to Net Zero and international climate agreements without fully understanding the long-term financial, legal, and regulatory impacts. These commitments often bypass public discussion and democratic input, leading to decisions that may not truly reflect the best interests of the community.
This is not about rejecting responsible environmental policies—it’s about ensuring that decisions remain in the hands of local people rather than being dictated by global organizations with little accountability to Manitobans.
💡 This is your opportunity to learn, strategize, and take action for your community!

What Our Logo Means
The logo for Manitoba Stronger Together incorporates elements that symbolize unity, community, and the strength of the bison.
Bison Icon: Is a silhouette of a stylized representation of a bison, symbolizing strength, resilience, and unity. The bison is depicted in a side stance, representing progress and moving together as a community.
The vertical stripes: represent that the movement includes all people from all walks of life, all beliefs and all political affiliations.
The Horizontal Connecting Lines: across the bison represent the connections and interdependence of community members, emphasizing the concept of being stronger together.
Blue Tones: The blue in the logo design represents growth, harmony, and the natural beauty of Manitoba's landscapes.
Dynamic Font: We choose a strong and modern bold font for the organization's name "Manitoba Stronger Together" to convey a sense of confidence and forward-thinking.
Let us continue to unite, ignite our passions, and work towards building a stronger and united Manitoba. Together, we will shape the future we want and deserve.
Keep an eye out for our next meeting announcement, and let us walk this transformative journey as one!
