A letter from Don
October 4, 2022
Dear Fellow Winnipegger,
As a proud business owner of JamRock Security here in Winnipeg, I see first hand the stress that crime is putting on us. In my first 100 days if you elect me your mayor, my priority is for our streets to be safe for all. I will find homes for the most vulnerable who are living on our streets in tents and bus shacks. My #1 goal is to make the citizens of Winnipeg feel safe on the bus, in their community, and taking part of attractions/festivities in our downtown.
As a strong advocate for youth sports and environmental issues, solving crime through sports is my vision.
We can end homelessness.
City Hall needs a high level of integrity throughout all its processes and departments. This is what I will bring to the table as Mayor of Winnipeg. Once a month, I will meet with the citizens of Winnipeg in a townhall format to hear your issues.
I look forward to hearing from you and possibly, even meeting you on the campaign trail.
Thank you for considering me,
Don
Vote Don Woodstock for Mayor of Winnipeg 2022
United By A Common Goal
- We the people can no longer afford for our elected officials and bureaucrats to be in their positions & unaccountable.
- Our corrupted City Hall must be swept out and opened up for a complete review of all public processes
- Have you ever wondered why our roads are in this deplorable condition despite endless dollars spent, and chronic construction zones year after year after year, often on the same major routes? It is due to sub-standard work, with unaccountable bureaucratic policy administration and processes. Seeing an end to the construction and enforcement abuses of today.
- City Hall has become a locked-up fortress with no transparency. As Mayor of Winnipeg, City Hall will become vibrant and opened to the public.
- Our current Mayor of Winnipeg's corrupt EPC Model has to be changed. This election is very important which direction Winnipeggers take.
- Vote for Don Woodstock for Mayor of Winnipeg
"You never know when God will show up. Be ready to receive. Amen"
Speaking Truth to Power that is how real significant change takes place Winnipeg
