Winnipeg, MB – The City of Winnipeg is unveiling improvements to the facility grounds at Valour Community Centre Orioles site that include new benches, new community garden beds, and a bike track with unique elements.

“This investment in Valour Community Centre Orioles site will ensure families can continue to gather and enjoy this community site as they have for many years,” said Councillor Mike Pagtakhan, Chair of the Standing Policy Committee on Protection, Community Services and Parks. “It’s important to update and enhance spaces that are valued by area residents. I encourage families to visit the park this summer and enjoy its new features.”

The features of the redevelopment project include a new bike path with fun and unique elements, light standards along the sidewalk on St. Matthews Avenue, aesthetic image panels, benches, a picnic table, bike rack, waste receptacles, fencing, trees, and freshly planted grass surrounding the new pathway.

“Community centres are the core of our communities,” said Councillor Cindy Gilroy, Daniel McIntyre Ward. “The Valour Community Centre Orioles site has a 70-year history in the West End and continues to serve families in the area, which is why I am so pleased to see the redevelopment of the facility grounds. By working together with the City, community groups, and local residents, we were able to provide the community a new place to meet and spend time.”

Members of the public are invited to a community event celebrating the improvements at Valour Community Centre Orioles site, located at 448 Burnell St., on Tuesday, June 26 from 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The building hosts a variety of sport and fitness activities including the long-running Orioles Boxing Club. The facility also acts as an important hub for community programs supporting nearby students, families, and seniors.
