Winnipeg, MB - Winnipeggers are being asked to help reimagine the future of the Winnipeg Canoe Club Golf Course.
In April 2019, the current lease of the course to a private operator will expire. The City of Winnipeg is seeking feedback from the public to find out how the space is currently used, and whether or not the public supports another golf course lease, or the creation of a mixed-use recreational space that includes additional services. All future changes would be subject to City Council approval and funding.
$1 million has been set aside in the 2019 capital budget forecast, which could be used to fund amenities on the property, subject to Council approval of the budget and project. Should the lease of the course be renewed, funds may be returned to other area parks projects, subject to Council approval.
Winnipeggers are encouraged to provide input through an online survey at winnipeg.ca/CanoeClub. The survey will be open until September 1, 2017.
Later this year citizens will be encouraged to attend a public workshop to review and refine several different recreational concepts.
