Winnipeg, MB – Winnipeggers can now weigh in on the proposed long-term plans for parks and recreation in our city.
Phase 2 of public engagement on Winnipeg’s Recreation & Park Strategies begins today, and residents are invited to provide feedback on draft 25-year frameworks that will guide programs, services, policies, standards and procedures, and future investment in existing and new infrastructure for both recreation and parks.
This long-term vision is important, as the City faces some difficult challenges in maintaining its aging infrastructure and making new investments to meet future needs.
Much of Winnipeg’s existing recreation and parks infrastructure is at or near the end of its useful lifecycle, and we need to find out where Winnipeggers want to see future investment. As Winnipeg continues to grow and change, the need to make strategic, forward-thinking decisions to ensure the City can deliver high-quality recreation and parks services is essential.
Residents can engage two ways: by participating in the recreation survey and parks survey until April 23, 2021 and at one of two online workshops:
Date: | Wednesday, March 24, 2021 | Thursday, March 25, 2021 |
Time: | 6 p.m. – 7:30 p.m. | 2 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. |
Format: | Presentation followed by facilitated discussion | Presentation followed by facilitated discussion |
