In what may be a first in Canada, Winnipeg mayor Scott Gillingham has created a Multi Faith and Cultural Liaison Circle to stay abreast of concerns and issues in that city’s faith and cultural communities.
The Circle’s 15 members, who were selected by the mayor, come from the city’s Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, Ba’hai, Indigenous and other communities.
