Lord, we thank You for Malay Marcelino, MLA for Notre Dame. We thank You for her advocacy for newcomers to our province and country. Thank You for her desire to see the lives of inner-city residents improved and supported. Bless her husband and her children. Give this family great unity as they serve the constituents of her riding. Draw her close to You. We ask all of this in the mighty name of Jesus. Amen.
Malaya Marcelino was first elected as the MLA for Notre Dame in 2019. She immigrated from the Philippines as a child with her family, who have been strong voices for improving the lives of newcomers. Marcelino served as the official opposition critic for labour and immigration, where she advocated for good jobs for newcomers and better-quality labour conditions, as well as better health care and safety for inner-city families. Prior to becoming an MLA, Marcelino was a stay at home mom and worked part-time as a business writer and researcher for a Manitoba agribusiness firm. She and her husband live in Winnipeg’s West End neighbourhood with their two young children.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
