  • 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.

  • Lead and Crime in Manitoba: Urgent Action Needed
    Lead and Crime in Manitoba: Urgent action needed Jon Gerrard MLA Manitoba Liberal Caucus report “Lead poisoning is the most significant and prevalent disease of environmental origin in US children” -Silbergeld 1997 Lead exposure contributing to violence and crime is, “a public health crisis with serious social justice implications” -Emer et al 2020 “mounting evidence [supports] that preschool lead exposure affects the risk of criminal behavior later in life. … especially affects juvenile offending and related trends in index crime (mainly property crime rates and burglary)… Violent crime trends and shifts to higher adult arrest rates suggest blood lead also affects violent and repeat offending.” -Nevin 2007 “The hypothesis that murder rates are especially affected by severe lead poisoning is consistent with international and racial contrasts and a cross-sectional analysis of average 1985-1994 USA city murder rates.” -Nevin 2007 “1941-1975 gasoline lead use explained 90% of the 1964-1998 variation in USA violent crime.” - Economist Rick Nevin, from a study published in 2000, and reported by CTV news March 7, 2013 “We can either attack crime at its root by getting rid of the remaining lead in our environment, or we can continue our current policy of waiting 20 years and then locking up all the lead-poisoned kids who have turned into criminals.” -Drum 2016 “Cleaning up the rest of the lead that remains in our environment could turn out to be the cheapest, most effective crime prevention tool we have.” -Drum 2016 “Children found to have a blood lead level higher than 5 ug/dL (0.24 umol/L) should be investigated thoroughly and any identified exposure sources should be mitigated as soon as possible.” - Canadian Pediatric Society 2019 “The impact of lead is intergenerational.
