Canada Votes 2025: AMM President

The countdown to election day is ticking by, and party leaders are crisscrossing eastern Canada in the early days of the 45th General Election.
Over the course of the federal campaign we will be speaking with municipal leaders from coast to coast to coast.
What do municipalities want to see addressed in this pivotal election? That’s exactly what we’re here to find out.
From housing to infrastructure, From bail reform to resource development, and from agriculture to social services, municipalities across Canada are tackling a wide range of challenges.
But they can’t do it alone. They need a strong and reliable partner at the federal level to help build stronger, more resilient communities.
Today we are heading to Manitoba, where at the time of dissolution, 7 seats in Manitoba were held by the Conservative Party of Canada, with 4 seats represented by the Liberal Party of Canada, and 3 seats held by the New Democratic Party.
With 14 seats in play for any of the parties, and polls extremely close, Manitoba’s rural and urban seats could play a major factor in who forms the next government.
Today, we’re zeroing in on the needs of Manitoba Municipalities.
What do they want to hear from party leaders and local candidates? What priorities are top of mind as they look to the next federal government?
We are honoured to be joined by Kathy Valentino, President of the Association of Manitoba Municipalities (AMM). First elected as AMM President in 2024, Valentino brings a wealth of experience and is a passionate voice for communities of all sizes across the province.
She will share her perspective on what Manitoba municipalities need from federal leaders and what AMM is hoping to see as Canada inches closer to April 28th.
So, without further ado, let’s go!
