  • Facilitating the Integration of Planning and Development for Downtown Revitalization
    Facilitating the Integration of Planning and Development for Downtown Revitalization: CentreVenture’s Involvement in the Redevelopment of Downtown Winnipeg by Elisabeth Saftiuk A practicum submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of Master of City Planning Department of City Planning University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2014 Elisabeth Saftiuk Abstract Downtowns contribute significantly to the economy of cities and as a result, decision makers are increasingly recognizing the fundamental value and importance of maintaining viable downtown cores. Following the post-war era of urban decay and suburban expansion, there have been widespread attempts nationwide to reverse trends and to revitalize downtowns. In the Winnipeg context, urban renewal was practiced throughout the 1960s and 1970s; tripartite agreements were utilized during the 1980s; and development corporations were introduced throughout the 1980s and 1990s as a way to encourage private sector investment with targeted public sector investments. This practicum investigates the relationship between planning and development in the downtown revitalization context. In particular, this research aims to discover the extent to which a downtown development agency may have facilitated the better integration of planning and development in a city’s downtown, where revitalization has been very much on the public agenda. Winnipeg’s CentreVenture Development Corporation was used as a case study to explore this relationship. It was established in 1999 and continues to operate today. This paper attempts to determine the extent of its involvement, and the manner by which this arms-length government agency has aided and influenced tangible development in Winnipeg’s downtown.

  • Lead Concentrations in Soil in Winnipeg Neighbourhoods
    Summary of Findings: Lead Concentrations in Soil in Winnipeg Neighbourhoods The Province of Manitoba, as represented by the Ministers of Health, Seniors and Active Living and Sustainable Development, commissioned an independent review of the potential health risks associated with lead in soils throughout the City of Winnipeg. This review was completed by a team led by Intrinsik Corp., in association with Habitat Health Impact Consulting, which included certified toxicologists, risk assessors, and a medical doctor. It included an evaluation of the benefits of conducting further investigations and provided recommendations regarding risk management and communication related to lead in soils. The work was completed between May and November 2019 and was divided into five tasks: • Task 1: Review of available soil data for Winnipeg neighbourhoods. • Task 2: Review of current and historical sources of lead in Winnipeg. • Task 3: Review of approaches used by Canadian and Western jurisdictions for assessing and managing lead in soil. • Task 4: Assessment of health risks associated with the lead concentrations measured in Winnipeg soils. • Task 5: Recommendations for further assessment of risks and possible risk management options. Summaries of the activities completed under each Task along with the key findings are presented below. Task 1: Review of Available Soil Data for Winnipeg Neighbourhoods Since the mid-1970s, the Province of Manitoba has completed several studies to measure the level of lead in Winnipeg soils. The focus was on the most recent studies completed by the Province, as well as a study conducted by the University of Manitoba for the neighbourhood of St. Boniface. All of the reported soil results were compared with the current health-based guideline for residential soils available from the Canadian Council for Ministers of the Environment.

  • Maverick Mathematician And, As He Put It, ‘Moyal’S More General Knowledge of European Work in the Theory of Stochastic Processes Was a Considerable Stimulus to Me’
    Chapter 4. The Widening Circle With the war's end, Joe Moyal was poised to enter another life. His reputation at De Havilland's had continued to rise and he was offered the job of developing a guidance system for the `Black Knight' missile which would combine a mixture of the electronic and electrical engineering which, as he put it, he had `exploited during the war'. But he had had enough of the technology of warfare. `I was sick of war and research on war', he reflected later, and he was anxious to make revisions and headway on his quantum paper and extend his research in mathematics, physics and statistics. His intellectual circle, moreover, was widening and moving him into congenial fields. His wartime contacts included his supportive Cambridge contacts, Maurice Bartlett and Dr. Harold Jeffries and, via Professor Fowler, other members of the Department of Mathematics. Figure 4.1. Maurice Bartlett, statistician – a valuable ally and colleague of Joe’s J. Gani Private collection. Maurice Bartlett was destined to become one of Britain's major statisticians. A scholarship boy at Queen's College, Cambridge, he had taken his first degree in mathematics, soaked up courses on statistical 45 mechanics with Ralph Fowler and statistical sources with Colin Clark, studied quantum mechanics with Paul Dirac, and launched into early research in mathematical statistics in his fourth year, publishing his first papers as a student. Graduating in 1933, he became an assistant lecturer in the new Statistics Department at University College, London, where he worked (among others) with the new Galton Professor, R.A.
