A new voice.
A new energy.
Sara MacArthur is a lifelong resident. She's running for City Council to bring a fresh perspective, practical solutions, and a strong commitment to the neighbourhood she's always called home.
Rooted here. Ready to deliver.
I've lived in River Heights my whole life. A total of 10 different houses on 9 different streets. This neighbourhood has shaped who I am, and I care a lot about preserving what makes it special: beautiful streets and trees, vibrant local businesses, strong community spirit, and neighbours who look out for one another.
Two decades of getting things done
With a master's degree in city planning and more than 20 years of experience in public service, community leadership, operational excellence, and planning, I've learned that progress happens when people come together around a shared goal.
From leading large teams to chairing community organizations, I'm known for listening carefully, achieving common ground, and turning ideas into action. City Council needs team-player leaders who can build relationships, navigate complex issues, and get things done. That's exactly what I've spent my career doing.
Rooted in this community
From coaching ringette and teaching swimming lessons as a young adult to serving as Chair of the YMCA-YWCA of Winnipeg and the Westminster Housing Society, giving back has always been important to me. These days, you'll find me managing a Winnipeg South End United soccer team (go U12 girls!).
Like many of you, I want my daughter to have opportunities here. That's why I'm committed to making thoughtful decisions today that will strengthen our neighbourhoods and our city for generations to come.
In my spare time, you'll find me walking my golden retriever, Maisie, around the Mathers-Taylor loop.
"I've spent my career close enough to know how the job gets done, but not so entrenched that I only do what's always been done."
A practical approach to everyday problems.
Thriving communities.
Enhancing what makes our neighbourhood great.
Getting the basics right.
Timely and reliable city services. Better access to city information. More engagement with residents.
Planning for the future.
Making decisions for the long-term, not an election cycle.
