The location was perfectly chosen for a ceremony full of colour and tradition in honour of our province\u2019s seven Indigenous Nations. Since the election on October 3rd, we have seen our new Premier perform a number of highly symbolic and unifying gestures for all Manitobans. A true reflection of Louis Riel&#8217;s great dream for Manitoba: a richly diverse society where people live together in harmony, free to express themselves and celebrate their cultural heritage.<\/p>\n<p>We applaud Mr. Kinew for putting together a Cabinet that is a true reflection of our province, both geographically (including rural) and culturally, as well as in terms of parity.<\/p>\n<p>The AMBM and its members are particularly enthusiastic about embarking on a solid and effective collaboration with this new Cabinet. Over the next few weeks, the AMBM and its subsidiaries (CDEM and EWC) will be meeting with several ministers and their teams to discuss current issues, inspired by the <a href=\"https:\/\/ambm.ca\/site-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/AMBM_Sep23_ElectionsProvinciales-EN_VF.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Notice on the 16 Strategic Priorities of Manitoba\u2019s Bilingual Municipal Leadership: Towards a Strengthened Municipal-Provincial Partnership<\/em><\/a> produced by the AMBM, with particular emphasis on rural areas. Our 16 priorities revolve around four major issues:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Resolving the shortage of Francophone and bilingual workers<\/li>\n<li>Investing in the development of strategic, structuring infrastructure<\/li>\n<li>Increasing support for economic development, entrepreneurship and tourism<\/li>\n<li>Anchoring Manitoba\u2019s commitment to bilingual government services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ambm.ca\/en\/ambm-president-meets-with-premier-designate-wab-kinew\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Following my meeting with Premier Kinew on October 16<sup>th<\/sup><\/a>, we were able to confirm the alignment of our priorities. We also confirmed our mutual interest in working together to strengthen the municipal-provincial partnership and build strong, prosperous, attractive and resilient bilingual communities, with a direct impact on the development and vitality of their Francophone communities. We are confident that this new government recognizes the bilingual character and the economic and social added value of the French fact in our province, as well as the importance of adequately supporting Manitoba&#8217;s Francophone communities.<\/p>\n<p>The AMBM is the voice of bilingual municipal leadership in the province of Manitoba. It represents 15 local governments committed to offering services in both official languages to their citizens. Together, these municipalities represent the majority of Manitoba\u2019s population. Manitoba\u2019s bilingual municipal leadership is also at the head of the AMBM Group, a consortium of three organizations with complementary mandates: the AMBM, the Economic Development Council of Manitoba Bilingual Municipalities (<em>Conseil de d\u00e9veloppement \u00e9conomique des municipalit\u00e9s bilingues du Manitoba<\/em>, or CDEM) and Eco-West Canada (EWC), which specializes in the green economy. Complementing each other, these three organizations actively contribute to the development, vitality and sustainability of the province\u2019s Official Language Minority Communities (OLMCs).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Information:<\/strong>\u00a0Office of the Chief Executive Officer (O-CEO), 204-289-4077,\u00a0<a
