Winnipeg/CMEDIA: An announcement was made today by Wab Kinew, Manitoba’s Manitoba premier-designate that a new executive council will be sworn in on Wednesday, Oct. 18 at The Leaf at Assiniboine Park in Winnipeg, a news release said.
“This will be a government for all Manitobans,” said Kinew. “We are extraordinarily humbled by this incredible opportunity to represent and serve the people of our province. Our government will work together tirelessly to make life better for you.”
In a colourful and tradition-filled ceremony conducted by Lt.-Gov. Anita Neville featuring the lighting of the Qulliq, the Norman Chief Memorial Dancers and Dakota Hotain Singers, seven Indigenous nations in Manitoba would be honored.
Reflecting the province geographically, culturally and as a society, the cabinet`s priority would be to deliver results and find real solutions to the challenges Manitobans face today with a focus on addressing the issues that matter most to Manitobans like health care, affordability and bringing Manitobans together to build their shared future, said Kinew.
Kinew, 41, became the first First Nations premier of a Canadian province when his NDP won the Manitoba general election on Oct. 3 to form a majority government.
“We are extraordinarily humbled by this incredible opportunity to represent and serve the people of our province. Our government will work together tirelessly to make life better for you,” Kinew is quoted as saying in the news release about the upcoming swearing-in ceremony.
