Annual Liberal Party Dinner: Recognition for RTAM’s President Linda Blair
June 15, 2024
On February 22, the Liberal Party of Manitoba hosted their annual kickoff rally and evening of
recognition.
Dr. Jon Gerrard of the Liberal Party reached out to RTAM President Linda Blair and invited her to attend the event based on RTAM’s work with Cindy Lamoureux and last year's successful passing of Bill 208, recognizing RTAM as the official voice of retired teachers in Manitoba.
Unbeknownst to RTAM and Linda, our president and organization were being recognized for the work that has been done in the past on behalf of retired teachers, older adults and seniors in Manitoba. The recognition is also for the continued investment in RTAM advocacy and political action.
Four groups were honoured that night for various programs that are helping Manitobans lead healthier lives.
