City not selling golf courses
CBC News · Posted: Jun 29, 2012 11:17 AM CDT | Last Updated: June 29, 2012
The city of Winnipeg has finally released its report into what it's going to do with city-
owned golf courses.
First, nothing will change for this golf season, and the city doesn't plan to sell any of
these courses at this point.
But it will now start negotiating with private groups that may wish to manage the
Kildonan, Windsor Park, Crescent Drive and Harbour View golf courses.
Coun. Scott Fielding, chair of the city's finance committee, said 76 responses were
received and close to half offered to manage the courses, rather than take them over
outright.
"And we really want to focus in on stopping the bleeding on some of our existing
courses. Really, our priority is to fix the troubled courses and stop the bleeding and we
think this could be done through the operations and the private operators," he said.
The report and its recommendations will go before the alternate service delivery
committee at a July 6 meeting.

This City sure has no respect for nature. There is only a path along part of the Sturgeon creek in the middle of the development. Truro Creek is also mentioned.

Item 9 Airport West Residential 
Background Material p 349
Explains what happens to Sturgeon Creek in the development
 
3.3 PROPOSED LAND DRAINAGE SYSTEMS
To minimize waterfowl activity near the airport the CentrePort Winnipeg land drainage systems
would incorporate dry bottom linear stormwater retention basins (SRB’s). To minimize
construction costs, the alignment of the dry bottom SRB systems must consider varying shallow
depths to till and bedrock in the CentrePort area.
The residential area straddles Sturgeon Creek. All residential lands would drain to dry bottom
linear storm retention basins which would discharge to Sturgeon Creek by at least 2 outfalls. The
outfall servicing the west sector of the development could discharge to the creek east of the
Summit Road bridge, while the outfall for the east sector could discharge south of
Saskatchewan Avenue. These locations would be beneficial to the drainage system hydraulics. It
is envisioned that generally the west sector of the industrial lands north and west of CentrePort
Canada Way (CCW) would also drain to Sturgeon Creek, possibly with an independent or
common outfall within the east sector residential area, while the industrial area east of CCW
would drain to the Truro Creek system.
Sturgeon Creek provides a deep channel which is beneficial to land drainage system hydraulics
during normal flow levels. However, under high flow conditions there is a capacity deficiency at
downstream road and rail crossings, which results in high water levels in the CentrePort drainage
area. The primary crossing constraint is the Saskatchewan Avenue road crossing, planned for
replacement in the next few years, and the adjacent CPR rail crossing. These two constraints
should be improved before significant development occurs. Even so, periods of creek high
water levels would require flood protection measures including outfall gates and pumping

Montreal Pledge


OURS-Winnipeg Supporters,

 

Winnipeg City Council voted 15 – 1 this month in favour of signing the “Montreal Pledge – Cities United in Action for Biodiversity”. This is a big deal!

 

Thank you so much to everyone who sent letters and helped support this motion.

 

Read the 15 actions you can now expect your City and Council to support to protect and increase nature in your communities.  (List at bottom of email).

 

We expect to be able to report on the date for the official signing of the Montreal Pledge in our next email.

 

The pledge is based on the COP15 Global Biodiversity Framework’s 4 goals and 23 actions and agreed to by almost every country in the world. The aim is to halt and reverse the loss of biodiversity. https://www.cbd.int/doc/ decisions/cop-15/cop-15-dec- 04-en.pdf

 

Biodiversity and climate change and how we care for the land are inextricably linked.

News Release - Manitoba
August 2, 2023MANITOBA GOVERNMENT INVESTING IN HABITAT CONSERVATION IN WINNIPEG AREA
$1.5-Million Grant for Manitoba Habitat and Heritage Corporation to Preserve Green Space: Klein


The Manitoba government is providing a grant of $1.5 million to the Manitoba Habitat and Heritage Corporation (MHHC) to help preserve natural infrastructure in the Winnipeg area, Environment and Climate Minister Kevin Klein announced today.


“This new Manitoba government funding will support the protection of our precious forests, green spaces and natural environment now, and for future generations,” said Klein. “Converting spaces into conservation areas or parks shows our government’s commitment to enhancing community well-being and preserving natural assets and infrastructure for the long-term environmental sustainability of our great province.”


The funding will be used to preserve natural habitat in the Winnipeg area and build on the Manitoba government’s decades of successful partnership with MHHC to advance conservation objectives across Manitoba, the minister noted. This includes the Manitoba government’s investment of $204 million in the GROW and Conservation trusts, administered by MHHC.


A one-time, $1.5-million grant will be provided to MHHC as part of an initiative to acquire privately owned land with unique natural ecosystems and habitats in the Winnipeg area to ensure green spaces are preserved for generations to come. MHHC works in partnership with landowners and the Manitoba government to maintain and enhance natural spaces for the benefit of all Manitobans.


“Through this support, MHHC will be able to build on more than 30 years of conservation work across rural Manitoba, and have a meaningful conservation impact right here in our capital city,” said Stephen Carlyle, chief executive officer, MHHC. “Natural areas within the urban landscape provide amazing spaces for communities to gather and recharge in a natural setting, as well as protect important wildlife corridors. Initiatives and funding like this puts the MHHC vision, ‘Manitoba Landscapes – Alive with people and nature,’ into action.”

Values for a Liveable City: Priorities
A panel discussion on the priorities of our city, followed by an open-floor question period to
table your question for the Mayor!
About this event
If we aspire to achieve a truly liveable city, a broad vision is essential. Potholed streets
are a problem, for sure, but our state-of-the-streets debate should also extend to rapid
transit, cycle paths, and pedestrian-friendly neighbourhoods. The reduction of crime
requires not only a debate about “how many cops do we need on the beat” but
thoughtful policies on urban planning, poverty reduction, homelessness, racism, and
unemployment. The promise to freeze or lower taxes is likely achievable but only by
sacrificing our schools, parks and community clubs, cultural institutions, and public art.
Achieving a decent society will require that we pay attention to such fundamental values
as sustainability, inclusivity, fairness, equity, and social justice
Values for a Liveable City brings together politicians, policymakers, city builders, and
community leaders - who have thought carefully about community priorities. They will
share their ideas with us and we can share our ideas with them at this Public Forum.
We need serious public discussion of the problems facing our community and the

priorities that should guide the council as they grapple with the task of shaping our
collective future.

Hi All


Concerning news today re Mayor's Infill Plan and zoning changes and will impact development along river corridors.  Shows disregard for greenspace and climate change.

Winnipeg Free Press November 2, 2023 Mayor pushes for zoning changes to secure millions in federal housing dollars   www.winnipegfreepress.com/ breakingnews/2023/11/02/mayor- pushes-for-zoning-changes-to- secure-millions-in-federal- housing-dollars
Request will include

legalizing the construction of up to four housing units on a single lot “as-of-right” city-wide;
legalizing buildings of up to four-storeys “as-of-right” at any site within 800 metres of frequent transit corridors;
ensuring that new mid-rise housing targeted for mall sites and commercial corridors is allowed “as-of-right.”


CBC November 2 2023 Winnipeg Mayor wants fewer hoops for high density development  www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ manitoba/winnipeg-mayor- zoning-by-law-changes-1. 7017147

·         "I don't think we just need to roll over for the federal government," St. Vital Coun. Brian Mayes said in an interview.

·         "I think this is really just giving pretty broad rights to developers and ignoring the public."

While we wait for the Master Plan for Greenspace the City is forging ahead with infill, while sorely lacking in anything to protect urban greenery or the spaces it might occupy. It will also remove public hearings and the right to appeal decisions.


The city is not prepared for a massive zoning change.  

The city needs higher standards for energy efficiency homes for the future. The city does not have a tree bylaw or urban forestry strategy

There needs to be guidelines to provide additional greenspace around high density development, much more than 8 - 10% along river corridors, not removing forests as there are almost none left and they are needed for flood proofing and biodiversity, not building on flood plains and river corridors as they are needed for flood proofing.


Need a neighbourhood tree and green corridor plan so as not to create urban heat islands and have planned shade corridors where people can walk.

I agree with Brian Mayes comments above.
