Season 2 Premiere! What are the Standing Policy Committees?

Welcome to Season 2 of Ballot Babes, the little podcast that was just supposed to get you paying attention to the 2026 Winnipeg Civic Election and now has become a thing we have to do all the time!

Thanks to everyone who makes this show a possibility! Thank you for listening and thank you to those who support us on Patreon. If you’d like to support us for as little as $5/month you can go to https://www.patreon.com/c/herproblem and become a paid member.

In today’s episode we will review some questions and comments that have come in from our listeners. If you’d like to send us a comment or question please go to ballotbabes.com and click on the “Send us a Question” form. You can also send us a voice memo from there. We’d love to hear from you.

Today we will also review the brand new Standing Policy Committees. More info about them in the links below. It’s time to watch meetings and pay attention to what’s happening at City Hall!

We also want to start “grading” our City Councillors based on their votes! Let us know in the comments what you think we should be rating them on.
