This report is organized into nine sections, the principal seven of which include: • The Compelling Case for Change: while an attractive physical presence, the Park is long overdue for an updated strategic plan, contemporary fundraising program, and modernized organizational structure to revitalize its luster and status as a tourist destination for the city and the province. • Current Governance Reality: a summary of how the Park is organized now, including the role of the City of Winnipeg (“the City”) and its various functional contributors, the different not-for-profit organizations and their leadership roles within the Park, and a strengths/weaknesses/opportunities/threats (“SWOT”) analysis of the present governance situation.

  • History of the Winnipeg Park Patrol 120 Years of Policing Winnipeg's Parks 1897-2017
    HISTORY OF THE WINNIPEG PARK PATROL 120 YEARS OF POLICING WINNIPEG'S PARKS 1897-2017 Researched and written by Sergeant John Burchill(retired) Winnipeg has more parks per capita than any other city in North America. With over 900 residential parks and 12 major Regional parks, Winnipeg has more than 10,260 acres of parkland. Although Winnipeg has an abundance of green space, it still enjoys some of the safest parks throughout Canada, which can be attributable to the efforts of Winnipeg's Park Patrol, formerly known as the Park Police. Although they were never listed in the national police directory, with 14 sworn members at its height, Winnipeg's Park Park Police - 1987, John Burchill Police were at one time one of the larger quasi-municipal police services in Manitoba. Their members are fully trained, sworn peace officers, who meet the same hiring and training standards as members of the Winnipeg Police Service. In fact, all full-time members of the Park Police were graduates of the Winnipeg Police Academy. With offices formerly located in Assiniboine Park, Kildonan Park and Kings Park, the Winnipeg Park Police operated primarily as one-officer units and provided 7-days a week coverage to most of the major regional parks and operated on a 24-hour a day schedule out of Assiniboine Park. In addition to three marked cruiser cars and an unmarked traffic unit, the Winnipeg Park Police also operated a bike patrol during large special events. Today they are known as the Park Patrol however they can trace their history back 115 years to 1897 when the Public Parks Board hired their first Special Constable.

  • 6.4 Land Drainage & Ground Water
    6.0 Infrastructure Development 6.4 Land Drainage & Ground Water Poor drainage has always been a major problem in the study region. It confronted and defeated some of the first settlers during the 1870s, and for many years prevented widespread settlement of the Red River Valley, despite the richness of its soil and the ease in which the open prairie grasslands could be broken and cultivated. The long-standing problem of land drainage existed for several reasons. The many creeks and rivers flowing from the highlands in the eastern part of the region regularly spilled their banks during the annual spring melt, flooding the farmland on the 'flats' in the western part of the study region. Due to the extreme flatness of the land in the Red River Valley, and the impervious nature of the clay subsoil, this water tended to remain on the surface, and only very slowly drained away or evaporated. Such waterways, which flowed into semi- permanent marshes, without outlets, were known as ‘blind creeks’ and there were a number of them in the study region. Drainage ditches and canals were constructed in the valley by the early 1880s, and these initially succeeded in draining off much of the excess surface water. The Manning Canal, in particular, constructed in 1906-08 in the area south of the Seine River, facilitated the draining of several large permanent marshes in that area. Some of the earliest drainage projects involved the Seine River and Mosquito Creek near St. Malo, and the 'flats' south of Dominion City. However, as new farms were cleared and roads constructed in the hitherto undrained territory of the eastern highland regions, more and more runoff was directed into the upstream drainage canals, overloading them and choking them with silt and vegetation.

Since 1969, the IUS has been both an academic and an applied research centre, committed to examining urban development issues in a broad, non-partisan manner. The Institute examines inner city, environmental, Aboriginal and community development issues. In addition to its ongoing involvement in research, IUS brings in visiting scholars, hosts workshops, seminars and conferences, and acts in partnership with other organizations in the community to effect positive change. Introduction This study undertakes an analysis of demographic and housing market factors that may influence the need for incentives in the downtown Winnipeg housing market. This report informs CentreVenture’s proposed “10 Year Housing Evaluation” and helps to address the proposed question, “What price do new downtown housing projects need to achieve to encourage more people to move downtown?” To accomplish this, the following have been undertaken: 1. A Demographic Analysis of current downtown Winnipeg residents with a comparison to Winnipeg medians, 2. A Rental Market Analysis comparing downtown rates to Winnipeg averages, as well as changing rental rates in the downtown from Census data, 3.

  • Stu Davis: Canada's Cowboy Troubadour
    Stu Davis: Canada’s Cowboy Troubadour by Brock Silversides Stu Davis was an immense presence on Western Canada’s country music scene from the late 1930s to the late 1960s. His is a name no longer well-known, even though he was continually on the radio and television waves regionally and nationally for more than a quarter century. In addition, he released twenty-three singles, twenty albums, and published four folios of songs: a multi-layered creative output unmatched by most of his contemporaries. Born David Stewart, he was the youngest son of Alex Stewart and Magdelena Fawns. They had emigrated from Scotland to Saskatchewan in 1909, homesteading on Twp. 13, Range 15, west of the 2nd Meridian.1 This was in the middle of the great Regina Plain, near the town of Francis.
