1. An Urban River Corridor Plan that includes all rivers and streams
2. An Urban Parks Plan
3. A Comprehensive Urban Forest Management Plan
4. Accessible green space and natural areas for all
OURS-Winnipeg has consistently called for timely and meaningful public consultations involving a broad participation of citizens prior to any significant planning decisions being taken by the City of Winnipeg.
