  • 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.

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.

  • 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.
