NEXT STEPS Moving Forward – South Winnipeg Recreation Initiative

Nov 12, 2015

On November 10, 2015, I was pleased to see the Standing Policy Committee on Property and Development, Heritage and Downtown Development approve the Public Service’s recommendations to invest $350,000 towards the planning and conceptual design of the South Winnipeg Recreation Initiative.

To read the Public Service report and recommendations, visit: Regional Campus Implementation Strategy SPC on Property and Development Nov 20, 2015
Another document, the Braid Report, provides a solid overview of the current recreation needs in South Winnipeg. The Braid Report engaged key stakeholders in 2013-2014 to understand the desire, need and interest in a larger, campus-style recreational style facility. Visit: Regional Campus – Consultation Report
Thanks to Craig and Trevor, from the South Winnipeg Community Centre, for attending and presenting at the November 10th meeting, as well as providing media interviews! EXCELLENT support and assistance – greatly appreciated!

NEXT STEPS:

The Public Service report and recommendations now must pass through two more committees to reach final approval:

Executive Policy Committee (EPC) Meeting – November 18, 2015
- The report comes forward to EPC where it will be discussed and debated.
- This meeting will take place at 9:00 a.m. at City Hall, 510 Main Street in the West Committee Room.
- If you would like to speak in support (or not) of the recommendations, you must register in advance by contacting the City Clerk, Carlos Gameiro: E-Mail CGameiro@winnipeg.ca or telephone 204-986-6631.
City Council Meeting – November 25, 2015
- If EPC supports the recommendations to invest $350,000 towards the planning and conceptual design of South Winnipeg Recreation Initiative, the report will then move on to City Council to discuss, debate and hopefully approve.
- This meeting will take place at 9:30 a.m. at City Hall, 510 Main Street in the Council Chamber.
- If you would like to speak in support (or not) of the recommendations, you must register in advance by contacting the City Clerk, Carlos Gameiro: E-Mail CGameiro@winnipeg.ca or telephone 204-986-6631.
