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.

  • 694 Academy Road Archibald & Mary Wright House
    694 ACADEMY ROAD ARCHIBALD & MARY WRIGHT HOUSE City of Winnipeg Historical Buildings Committee Researcher: M. Peterson April 2008 694 ACADEMY ROAD – ARCHIBALD & MARY WRIGHT HOUSE Notes on Date of Construction: There is conflicting information about the actual construction date of this house – 1881, 1891 and 1912 – the earlier date comes from Historical Buildings Committee information from the 1970s, the middle date from the realtor’s website and the last date comes from the City of Winnipeg Assessment Department. The following information has been gleaned from various sources uncovered to date: • The house actually sits on what was originally River Lot 1 St. Charles. Archibald Wright arrived in the area in the late 1860s and it is known from Land Titles Office records that he and his wife Mary owned the land on which this building stands from the 1870s (River Lots 60-63 Parish of St. Boniface and River Lots 1 and 2 Parish of St. Charles). These records only describe land – buildings are not included; • City of Winnipeg Tax Roll information also shows the couple owning vacant River Lots 60, 62 and 63 and part of 61 Parish of St. Boniface in the 1880s and beyond. River Lots 1 and 2 St. Charles are outside the City boundaries. In 1913, Mary Wright is listed as the owner/occupant of a home and stable on Godfrey Avenue, Lots 14, 15 and 21/22, Plan 1374, Block 7, 60/63 St. Boniface (house actually sits on Lot 15); • Canada Census data from 1901, 1906 and 1911 all list Archibald Wright and his family as living in this area: “Assiniboia” (1901), “Parishes of St.

    Story Idea Krefeld, im Dezember 2018 Fun Facts und Aspekte der Superlative aus Manitoba Schon gewusst? In Manitoba soll es kälter sein, als auf dem Mars! Vor kurzem hat die NASA sogar ein kleines Stück des roten Planeten nach Manitobas Provinzhauptstadt Winnipeg benannt. Aber bei aller intergalaktischen Wertschätzung ist Manitoba vor allem eines: Ein ziemlich schöner Ort hier auf Erden, der einen wunderbaren Beitrag zu den Wundern der Tierwelt, faszinierenden Outdoor-Phänomenen oder erstklassigen Festivals leistet. Hier sind lustige Fakten und Aspekte der Superlative aus Manitoba, die so manchen überraschen dürften… Wunder der Tierwelt In Manitoba befindet sich die weltweit größte Paarungshöhle der Welt – und zwar für die Rotseiten-Strumpfbandnatter. Zu tausenden kommen die Schlangen jedes Jahr Anfang Mai in die Narcisse Snake Dens nördlich der Kleinstadt Narcisse, um sich hier unters Schlangenvolk zu mischen und sich zu paaren. Sich windende Schlangenbündel sorgen für einen fantastischen Anblick! In der Hudson Bay leben im Sommer bis zu 50.000 Belugawale, 5.000 von ihnen besuchen in den Monaten Juli und August die Gegend rund um Churchill. Im Kajak können Besucher den Walen ganz nahe kommen! Im Wapusk National Park im Norden Manitobas befinden sich die weltweit meisten Geburtshöhlen von Eisbären. In Manitoba gibt es über 100.000 Seen und Wasserwege – der perfekte Köder für Angler, die einmal die größten Fische des Kontinents an ihrem Haken zappeln sehen möchten.
