About Margaret
Protecting what makes Springfield special.
I am a lifetime Springfield resident with four generations of my family proudly calling our municipality home. I bring over 25 years of experience in corporate finance, planning, and development, and a strong record of community leadership.
Community Advocate
Helped raise public awareness and community support on key local issues, by meeting hundreds of residents door to door over the last four years.
STOP Sio Silica Campaign
Helped lead the referendum/poll where over 95% of participating residents voted NO to Sio Silica. Protecting our clean water remains one of Springfield’s most critical responsibilities.
Preserve Our Rural Identity
Successfully organized opposition to WMR Plan 20-50 to prevent Springfield from turning into a suburb of Winnipeg.
“I am running for Mayor to protect Springfield’s water, preserve our rural character, support responsible growth, and manage your tax dollars wisely.”
