Winnipeg looking for a new Mayor, those over 12 need not apply!

Winnipeg is looking for a new mayor and only those between 8 and 12 are able to apply.

On Thursday, February 22, 2018, Mayor Brian Bowman announced a contest for Winnipeg youth to become the first Kid Mayor in the city.

“This is fun, but at the same time educational initiative that I hope will build a greater appreciation for and understanding of municipal government,” said Mayor Brian Bowman. “As well, it will be a great opportunity for elected members to learn from our kids who can sometimes say the darndest things and are rarely shy about what they think and feel. I hope kids across Winnipeg can find time to share what they think it means to be Mayor, and if given a chance what they would do to make Winnipeg an even greater city.”

If you are interested in becoming Kid Mayor you can submit an application by explaining what you think a mayor does and what would make Winnipeg a better place to live an why. Submissions need to be under 250 words but if you want you can enter a video. Submissions can be submitted online until April 3, 2018, at mayorbowman.ca

Applicants will need the permission of a parent or legal guardian in order to apply.

Entries will be reviewed by an external panel of judges with one lucky submission chosen to be Kid Mayor.

What you win

As Kid Mayor, the winner will be provided with an opportunity to join Mayor Brian Bowman for an exciting day of being Mayor where they will have an opportunity to pitch City Councillors on their idea to make Winnipeg an even better place to live, cut a ribbon or two, and even host their own press conference.
