Manitoba NDP on Saturday announced that Amanda Lathlin, MLA for The Pas-Kameesak has died.
First elected in 2015, Lathlin made history as the first First Nations woman elected to the Manitoba Legislative Assembly.
“Amanda led with strength, humility, and heart,” said Premier Wab Kinew in a press release. “Her voice in the legislature and her presence in her community will be deeply missed.”

Amanda Lathlin speaks during a standing committee meeting at Legislative Building in April 2024.
The release went on to state that during her time in office, Amanda was a tireless advocate for families and for northern Manitobans. She played a key role in advancing legislation to extend paid leave for mothers recovering from miscarriages and worked to improve access to quality sexual assault care in northern communities.
