Sheilagh Hanson Winnipeg Area Council Rep Prairie Region Council February 2020 The time period since the last PRC meeting seems like I was very relaxed, but the time has all blurred for me.   I spent the year as the Winnipeg Area Council Chair, which was actually a tough gig for me, as I am not as familiar with Roberts Rules as I should be.  I did work with some of our best activists, which is always a pleasure and an honour. 

This report covers the period from the last PRC meeting in November 2019. The federal election kicked off this reporting period.  With the new elections act requirements, more coordination was required.  Every member in the Prairies received a mailout with information on political party platforms.  We launched an election page on our regional website to consolidate all election related event notices and information.  While we were successful in getting some labour friendly MP’s elected, we also lost some great MP’s that were always ready to stand with our members.
