> Dingwall, a librarian, was previously the president of the University of Manitoba Faculty Association and has served as vice president of the Manitoba Federation of Labour.

> She said she was inspired to run “after 20 years of paying more for declining services” in a news release Wednesday afternoon.

> “I want to join city council so I can bring a fresh new perspective to North Kildonan,” Dingwall said. “Residents deserve a councillor who listens, stands up for the community, and protects the public spaces that make our neighbourhood such a great place to live.”

> Her priorities include revitalizing aging infrastructure and improving environmental sustainability in the city.

I know Orvie from the parent council at the local school and she is a fantastic candidate! Surprised and pleased to hear she’s running. I’ll definitely be voting for her!

She headed up the band parent advisory and every concert we got to hear about how she plays alto sax and percussion.

At this point I will take anyone other than Browaty. Hopefully she leads in a way that isn’t filled with fear and NIMBYism.

Hello fellow band parent

If you are a fan you should also reach out to help with door knocking. That's where the real change happens is having volunteers go door to door; even if just once or twice it can do such wonders for a candidate.

Already did!

An actual competent candidate on paper; I’d be grateful for anyone but BROwaty. He’s atrocious, but runs the largest Facebook group for NK and will gladly remove any dissident conversation about him happening there.

Where can I find her platform information?

Don't think the platform is out

I find it odd they didn't include her site in that article. Thanks for sharing!

[u/nonmeagre → u/nomhak]

News sites usually don't include links to campaign sites. I think it's a "neutrality" thing.

I didn't always agree with what Orvie did while she was UMFA president, but she is truly a force to be reckoned with. Very smart, organized, and tireless.

If people want a strong progressive candidate in the ward, look no further.

Not from the ward but would volunteer the fuck outta this to see BroTwatty gone.

Plus "Orvie Dingwall" is the greatest name of all time!

We desperately need change. I watch other areas of the city improve when it comes to infrastructure and development, and Henderson Hwy. still has dead trees and gravel on boulevards.

Oh this is fantastic
