FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 25, 2025
The Green Party Provencher Electoral District Association is pleased to announce Blair Mahaffy as their candidate for the upcoming federal election on April 28, 2025.
Blair is a lifelong resident of southeastern Manitoba. Born in Winnipeg, he spent summers in the Whiteshell, raised a family in Lorette, and now lives at West Hawk Lake. In his job as a software developer working with small, independent retailers across Canada, he is known for his empathy and understanding of both technical and business challenges. He also enjoys engaging with people from all over Canada and the world through his occasional work as a horseback riding trail guide.
Driven by his passion for community and the collective good, Blair is currently involved in several community initiatives in the South Whiteshell, including volunteering at community events, co-hosting a weekly music jam, and moderating a monthly conversation café to bring people together to talk about a variety of important and engaging topics.
Blair ran for the Green Party in the 2023 provincial election in his home riding of Lac du Bonnet. In his campaign he knocked on over a thousand doors and had over 700 stimulating conversations with people of all political stripes about issues including health care, conservation, and political disillusionment. His involvement with the Green Party both provincially and federally is rooted in a passion for meaningful electoral reform, which would bring a variety of voices to the table in a spirit of cooperation and consensus. Blair believes that to “live within our means” is to live within the planet’s resources, on which the economy is fully dependent. His sense of fairness and equity extends to his support of well-funded public healthcare and education systems as well as poverty reduction through Universal Basic Income.
