Endorsements 

"I have been proud to call Whyte Ridge home for more than 40 years. I know what makes this community special - the people who live here, the strong neighbourhood connections, and the pride residents have in making our community a great place to live.

Waverley West deserves a City Councillor who listens to residents, understands our priorities, and is committed to working hard on our behalf. Nafiya has shown that she is a leader who listens, builds relationships, and genuinely cares about the future of our city.

I believe Nafiya has the vision, empathy, and commitment to represent all of Waverley West, including Whyte Ridge. I am proud to support Nafiya Naso for City Councillor and encourage community members to join me in voting for her on October 28, 2026." 

"I have spent my life working alongside people who are often overlooked, unheard, and facing some of the greatest challenges in our communities. That work has taught me that leadership is not about making promises - it is about listening, showing compassion, and taking action.

Nafiya understands that some of the most urgent challenges facing our city are poverty, housing insecurity, and mental health. She recognizes that behind every challenge is a person, a family, and a story. She brings people together, listens to community voices, and believes in solutions that strengthen our communities and ensure no one is left behind.

I am proud to support Nafiya Naso for City Councillor in Waverley West. She has the compassion, commitment, and community-first approach needed to help build a stronger Winnipeg, and I encourage my neighbours to join me in voting for her on October 28." 

“I have called Waverley Heights home for more than 40 years, and I have been actively involved with Pembina Active Living (PAL 55+) since 2010, including serving as a board member. I know firsthand what seniors in southwest Winnipeg need and how important it is to have a voice at City Hall who will listen.

When I raised my concerns with Nafiya about creating a permanent space for PAL and ensuring our growing communities work for seniors and families, she listened and responded with practical ideas.

That is the kind of leadership I want to see: accessible, responsive and committed to our community.

I am proud to endorse Nafiya Naso for City Councillor in Waverley West and encourage my neighbours to support her on October 28.”

"I had the privilege of working alongside Nafiya in healthcare, where I saw firsthand the compassion, professionalism, and dedication she brought to supporting others.

Healthcare teaches us the importance of listening, empathy, and teamwork. Nafiya embodies those values through the way she builds trust, treats people with respect, and works collaboratively with those around her.

I am proud to support Nafiya Naso for City Councillor in Waverley West and encourage my neighbours to join me in voting for her on October 28." 

"As someone who has spent nearly four decades in Winnipeg's real estate market, I've seen firsthand how much good governance matters to the strength of our neighbourhoods, from housing affordability to safe, well-planned communities where families can put down roots.

Nafiya Naso understands this. Her commitment to community building isn't new. I've seen it through her work advocating for others and standing up for causes that matter, including our shared work with Operation Ezra.

Waverley West needs a councillor who will bring that same integrity, work ethic, and genuine care for people to City Hall. I'm proud to support Nafiya Naso for City Councillor."

"I have had the privilege of working alongside Nafiya through the Manitoba Multifaith Council, where she previously served on the board. Through our shared work, I have seen her commitment to building bridges between faith communities, bringing people from diverse backgrounds together, and creating spaces where everyone feels valued and heard.

Nafiya understands that strong communities are built through relationships, respect, and collaboration. That is why I am proud to support Nafiya for City Councillor in Waverley West and encourage all constituents to vote for her on October 28th." 

"Nafiya Naso would be an outstanding representative for Waverley West at City Hall - bright, compassionate, committed, and energetic. I met Nafiya through my involvement with Operation Ezra and The Healing Farm, a project she led to provide food and self-sufficiency to refugees newly arrived in Winnipeg. She is creative, well organized, and held in the highest regard by people across the city in a multitude of agencies and communities.

I encourage voters in Waverley West to give Nafiya Naso their strongest consideration."
