Core Message: "Invest in our youth, invest in our future."
"Let’s keep our young people active, healthy, and inspired through sports."
It is incredibly inspiring to see the dedication and talent of the young people in our community. I recently had the honor of meeting two phenomenal local athletes who are putting St. Norbert - Seine River on the national map: Alexus Lee and Victoria Lee .
Celebrating National Champions from Our Backyard
At just 15 years old, Alexus Lee has already achieved the remarkable title of 2026 Junior Canadian Table Tennis Champion ! Alongside her, 17-year-old Victoria Lee competed fiercely on the U19 girls' team, and together, this dynamic duo brought home a spectacular Team Silver Medal .
Their success is a testament to their hard work, discipline, and the incredible support of their families and local coaches.
Why Youth Sports Matter to Our City
When we invest in our youth, we are directly investing in the future of Winnipeg. Local sports clubs, community centers, and recreation programs do so much more than teach athletic skills. They provide our young people with:
- A Safe Environment: Keeping kids engaged, active, and off the streets.
- Mental & Physical Health: Building lifelong habits for wellness and resilience.
- Community Connection: Fostering teamwork, leadership, and local pride.
As your candidate for City Council, I am committed to ensuring that our municipal recreation facilities are accessible, well-funded, and supportive of grassroots sports programs. Every child in St. Norbert - Seine River should have the opportunity to pick up a racket, kick a ball, or find their passion in a safe, local environment.
Congratulations to the Lee Family!
A massive congratulations to Alexus, Victoria, and their entire support team for their national success. You make our ward incredibly proud, and I cannot wait to see what you achieve next!
