City of Portage la Prairie - Municipal Government city manager highlights growing role of women leaders

City Manager Nicole Chychota reflected on leadership, inclusion, and the importance of helping remove barriers that may discourage participation in municipal government.

Chychota reflects on some of the broader shifts she has observed in local government and the efforts that can help make leadership positions more accessible.

“We are seeing a lot more women signing up for these roles, which is great to see,” Chychota says. “I think a lot of councils, in particular, have made it a priority to create an environment that is both welcoming and suited to women to join leadership positions.”
