Green Space Forum May 17, 2018
JOIN OURS-Winnipeg at our Green Space Forum
Facebook or Eventbrite
HEAR a panel of experts on climate change, urban green space planning, health through nature
GIVE your ideas for urban green space priorities, both local area, and city-wide
TELL us how you want to help make green space matter in Winnipeg
MAKE urban green space a top-of-mind issue in the coming civic election and beyond
Urban green spaces provide multiple benefits that are necessary to our City. Benefits are economic, health, well-being, social inclusion, climate change mitigation, education, recreation, biodiversity and more.
A Winnipeg “Master Plan for Green Space” is needed for City-wide planning for river corridors, trees, green spaces and natural areas and to support informed decision making based on a rational and transparent approach.
The City has begun work on a Parks Plan and park surveys that could contribute to components of a Master Plan for Green Space.

The Seine River and Land Development
What is the Rush?
Sponsored by: Save Our Seine and OURS-Winnipeg
Where: St Mary’s Road United Church, 613 St Mary’s Road (Map)
When: Thursday, May 22, 2014 @ 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm
Description: The Public Forum will give Winnipeg residents an opportunity to learn and comment on a current land use development plan for SE St Boniface along the Seine, Winnipeg’s second longest river. The plan is known as Precinct K. (see map at end)
The approval of this land use development plan is being rushed, forever closing the doors to an opportunity to sustain and enhance greenspace along the Seine river corridor. With no overriding regional park plan the continuous corridor of the Seine River is threatened.
The Riel Community Committee of the City of Winnipeg is expected to vote in June on this development plan, known as Precinct K. The plan will direct all aspects of the future neighbourhood including bridges, roads, community centres, schools, water and sewer, parks and bike paths, to name a few.
As citizens have been discovering, there is little provision in the City’s planning process to keep the riverbank and natural/naturalized lands secure from encroachment of commercial and residential development.

WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT TOMORROW (Completed)
FEBRUARY 15TH AT THE EPC CITY MEETING AT 0900 MEETING :
THE PROPERTY AND PLANNING COMMITTEE MEETING TODAY RESULTED IN A SPLIT VOTE......WHICH ESSENTIALLY IS “ NO DECISION”
THIS MATTER WILL BE IN FRONT OF THE EXECUTIVE POLICY COMMITTEE TOMORROW, WHO ARE KNOWN TO BE PRO DEVELOPMENT .
ALTHOUGH EVERYONE SAID THAT IN 99% OF THE TIME DECSIONS FROM THE COMMUNITY CENTRE COMMITTEE ARE PASSED, THE FACT THAT THIS IS A SPLIT VOTE DOES NOT BODE WELL IN OUR FAVOUR.
WE MET COUNCILLORS OLRLIKOW AND PAGTAKHAN (WHO VOTED IN OUR FAVOUR) IN THE LOBBY WHO SUGGESTED THAT FILLING THE SEATS TOMORROW WOULD BE AN EXCELLENT STRATEGY!
Update - Tuesday February 14 – Meeting at City Hall - Valentine’s Day Dismissal at City Hall
OURS-Winnipeg was dismayed today, at the unexpected result at the Property and Development Committee meeting at City Hall. Citizens attended the meeting to speak to the motion requesting a public consultation process regarding the sale of the city owned golf courses.
The agenda had been accepted by the mayor’s office, according to procedure. Citizens came to City Hall with the illusion they would be heard. In a very rare move, Property and Development committee chairperson Jeff Browaty, at the recommendation of Councillor Wyatt, denied public consultation based on a procedural technicality. More than 20 registered delegations were prevented from speaking to the report. A petition with nearly 6000 names could not be presented and a gallery full of citizens were sent on their way, shortly after arriving.
OURS –Winnipeg would like to thank the 20 delegations that took the time to prepare and come to City Hall as well as the supporters who filled the gallery. It is unfortunate that the presentations were not allowed to proceed at they were from citizens who cared and it would have been informative for all of us.
Democracy was hijacked today and citizens were treated disrespectfully. The OURS-Winnipeg petition will be presented at another appropriate time. We will also be looking ahead to provide another opportunity for people to present.
OURS-Winnipeg is a city wide group committed to stopping the sale of city owned golf course lands for commercial and residential development.
Councillor Jeff Browaty chaired the meeting. Committee members are Councillors Nordman, Pagtakhan, Wyatt, and Mayor Katz (ex officio).
If you are concerned about this decision, start phoning or emailing City Council today.
Let’s Keep it Ours!
Please read background information for the motion that was to have been spoken to.
Committee Minute documents should be put at – www.winnipeg.ca/CLKDMIS
