Tanya Parks - successful business woman

Tanya Parks was one of the original small business tenants at the Forks Market. She is still there with Walt Nilssen, operating Desert Caravans. Tanya knows what it takes to operate a small business in a competitive market. As an entrepreneur, she is part of the backbone of the Manitoba economy. As an entrepreneur, she knows how to look after money carefully. This is the knowledge of solid business management that she takes into her campaign in Elmwood-Transcona where she is the federal Liberal candidate.

A native of Winnipeg, Tanya has been an active volunteer in various charities, and she has been a strong advocate for Women’s and Human Rights issues. She has worked to create opportunity for minority women for much of her life. Tanya believes that small business is a key to a sustainable and healthy economy, locally and globally.
