Winnipeg, MB – Our Neighbourhood Action Teams are back tidying up Winnipeg neighbourhoods.
Crews are tackling everything from potholes and broken signs to sidewalk repairs, tree debris, and boulevard maintenance in targeted neighbourhoods.
“Last year, we saw how much of a difference Neighbourhood Action Teams can make by tackling the small things people notice every day,” said Mayor Scott Gillingham. “Potholes, broken signage, fallen branches. When these issues are addressed at the same time, it helps restore pride in our communities. I’m excited to see this program grow with even more teams working across Winnipeg this year.”
“Councillors regularly hear directly from residents about local concerns and are pleased to work alongside Neighbourhood Action Teams to respond to community needs,” said Councillor Janice Lukes, Chair of the Standing Policy Committee on Public Works. “The program is set up to provide staff with the tools, training, and flexibility to respond quickly and get things done.”
The Neighbourhood Action Teams program began operations in 2025. Its focus is to perform tasks that generate the most service requests through 311. When work is done, we close all service requests related to our work within that area.
The program has expanded to five seven-person teams that will rotate through all 15 wards from May through October 2026. Crews will spend about four weeks in each area.
Work plans are developed in collaboration with city councillors and local stakeholders like Business Improvement Zones (BIZ), ensuring each team’s time is focused on local priorities.
