FORTWHYTE NEWS www.facebook.com/FortWhyteAlive A Sustainable Future The term sustainability is commonly used these days. At FortWhyte Alive, when we talk about sustainability, we are referring to what we see as the three interdependent pillars of a sustainable community: a healthy natural environment, a healthy economic environment and a healthy and just social environment. FortWhyte has always strived to be a community leader in not only teaching the cornerstones of by IAN BARNETT, sustainability, but also demonstrating these values in the way we operate. It is easy to become DIRECTOR OF OPERATIONS complacent. But when we recently took a critical look at ourselves and asked if we could be RICH BOLTON, doing more to show leadership in this area, the answer was a resounding ‘YES’! As a result, a staff committee was formed to develop initiatives that promote and enhance sustainability at DIRECTOR OF BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT FortWhyte Alive, with the vision of re-establishing ourselves as a national leader in this area. Here are some examples of the exciting initiatives that we have undertaken in just a few short months. SUSTAINABLE PROCUREMENT Food Services and Catering Since November 1st, FortWhyte’s Buffalo Stone Café and all on-site food services are run by Diversity Food Services, a joint venture between the University of Winnipeg Community Renewal Corporation and SEED Winnipeg. As a social enterprise, Diversity creates menus featuring local, organic and sustainably produced foods cooked from scratch, including ingredients grown here at FortWhyte Farms. Diversity also provides meaningful employment for new Canadians, Indigenous peoples, downtown community residents and university students. Cleaning White Gloves Cleaners now provides cleaning services for our buildings. This company has impressive sustainability standards, ensuring its cleaning products: • Are free of any known or suspected carcinogens, mutagens and endocrine disrupters; • Do not contain compounds or substances that cause or contribute to the creation of atmospheric greenhouse gases, ground level smog or ozone depletion; • Are not delivered in single use aerosol cans or cans using ozone-depleting propellants; • Do not contain petroleum derived or petrochemical blended fragrances; • Do not contain heavy metals that are toxic to humans, animal life or the environment; • Are readily biodegradable at greater than 90 percent in thirty days without needing to be run through a municipal effluent treatment process; and • Do not contain chlorine or chlorinated solvents. Continued on following page > www.fortwhyte.org 3 FORTWHYTE NEWS ENERGY CONSERVATION Lighting Retrofit and Energy Audit In collaboration with Manitoba Hydro’s Power Smart department and Prairie Lighting, FortWhyte assessed options for increasing the energy efficiency of our main buildings. This resulted in a major retrofit of lighting, switching incandescent, compact fluorescent and high pressure sodium lights into more efficient LED lighting. This lighting retrofit will save 15,000 watts ($3,000) of energy annually and will pay for itself in just over half of a year! [This translates into up to 80% savings.] Two additional phases of this retrofit are planned to upgrade the remainder of our lighting to LED. WASTE REDUCTION SUSTAINBILITY PLANNING Café Composting Program Sustainability Plan In collaboration with Chef Kelly Cattani The Sustainability Committee has produced an action plan to guide us into the future. of Diversity Foods, the Buffalo Stone Café This document is grounded in the following 8 principles, and will be implemented through will now be included in the already active an annual plan to meet defined sustainability targets. composting program at FortWhyte Farms. 1.

  • Recent Developments Along the Assiniboine Corridor in Brandon
    Prairie Perspectives 199 Down by the riverside: recent developments along the Assiniboine Corridor in Brandon G. Lee Repko and John Everitt Brandon University Abstract: In the past few years, the previously neglected Assiniboine River corridor within the city of Brandon has shown signs of significant change and development. These changes have largely been the result of a realization, by both city officials and community members, that an important local recreational resource has been neglected or ignored by the majority of Brandon’s inhabitants for many years. A series of public meetings sponsored by the city led to the acceptance of a plan for the riverbank and the formation of a not-for-profit group to bring planned changes into reality. In the past three years, pre-existing developments have been brought under the auspices of Riverbank Inc. and a series of new initiatives have been started. This paper briefly describes the past and contemporary development of Brandon’s Assiniboine river corridor. Introduction The purpose of this paper is to outline and report upon the development of the Assiniboine River Corridor by “Riverbank Inc.” Riverbank Inc. is a non-profit “arms length” organisation incorporated by the Province of Manitoba in 1994. The aim of the organisation is to develop the tract of land along the banks of the Assiniboine River within the city of Brandon as a recreational area for the city and its region, and as a possible ecological focal point for tourist activity within southwest Manitoba (Figure 1). The ongoing transformation of the river valley has the potential to be one of the major changes to the face of Brandon since its incorporation in 1882.
