Kayla Gillis
Working for Dauphin
Raised in rural Manitoba, I live, work, and farm here in the Parkland with my husband. I'm running because I care deeply about this community and I'm ready to listen, work hard, and show up for Dauphin.
Why Kayla Gillis?
I'm running because I care deeply about the Parkland and the people who call it home.
I grew up in a small rural community, where you learned early the importance of hard work, looking out for your neighbours, and being there when your community needed you. Those values have shaped who I am and how I lead.
My husband was born and raised here, and together we have built our life in the Parkland. We live here, work here, and farm here. This is where we want to be. This is home.
For more than 19 years, I've worked in agriculture, finance, and leadership. My career has taught me how to listen, build relationships, understand different perspectives, solve problems, and make difficult decisions. But some of the most meaningful experiences in my life have come from serving my community.
Community is incredibly important to me. I've taken on leadership roles, volunteered my time, and worked alongside businesses, organizations, volunteers, community leaders, and different levels of government. I've seen firsthand what can happen when people come together with a shared purpose. Leadership isn't always easy it means showing up when things are difficult, listening when people don't agree, and continuing to work toward a solution.
Making a difference is something I'm genuinely passionate about. I don't believe you have to wait for someone else to create change. If you see something that needs to be better, you step up and do what you can to help.
I'm not running because I have all the answers. I'm running because I care, I'll listen, I'll work hard, and I'll show up for the Parkland.

Why Edna Nabess?
Everything I am today began here in northern Manitoba.
I was born in Cormorant, raised in the traditions of Mathias Colomb Cree Nation, built a business in The Pas, and have spent my life working alongside families and communities throughout the North. The people, cultures, and communities of The Pas–Kameesak have shaped who I am. This is home.
I am running because I believe our communities deserve a strong voice someone who understands the North not because they've read about it, but because they've lived it.
Throughout my life, I have worked to create opportunities for others. Whether supporting Indigenous entrepreneurs, raising a family, opening my home to foster children, helping young people in remote communities, or serving on provincial boards, my purpose has always been the same: to leave my community stronger than I found it.
I believe The Pas–Kameesak has one of the brightest futures in Manitoba. Our region is home to hardworking people, proud Indigenous communities, abundant natural resources, thriving tourism, forestry, mining, fishing, trapping, agriculture, and small businesses that have supported northern families for generations. We have everything we need to succeed. What we need is leadership that believes in our people, works in partnership with our communities, and creates the opportunities that will keep our young people here, attract new investment, and build a stronger future for everyone.
I want to be a strong voice for every community across this riding from The Pas and Opaskwayak Cree Nation to Cormorant, Moose Lake, Pukatawagan, Grand Rapids, Easterville, and every community in between. Every community deserves to be heard. Every family deserves opportunity. Every young person deserves a reason to build their future right here in northern Manitoba.
Politics has never been my ambition. Service has. Serving as your MLA is simply another way I can continue the work I have dedicated my life to listening to people, bringing communities together, and helping build a stronger future for northern Manitoba.
If you place your trust in me, I promise to work hard every day to earn it. I will listen with respect, lead with integrity, and always put the people of The Pas–Kameesak first.
Everything I am began here in northern Manitoba. I believe in the people of northern Manitoba. I always have, and I always will.
