Time to “pony up” and “get in the race”. Over the past 40-plus years, I have encouraged and supported many, many individuals to become involved with politics. Today I am letting it be known that I, Christine Waddell (nee Lobel), will be letting my name stand for the position of councillor in the Town of Neepawa. 

Having spoken to many people who are very qualified for the position, but for their own reasons are not prepared to run at this time, I looked in the mirror and said, "What about you?”

“Yes, you can do it,” was the answer I received.

Our business does not need me on a day-to-day basis. I am very close to our sons and grandchildren but they are not part of my daily schedule. The time is right and I seek the support of the community and seek to serve my community.

Neepawa voters will head to the polls on June 17 to elect a new councillor.
