Winnipeg’s Bold Moves and Green Push | Winnipeg News

Louise May is running for city council in St. Norbert-Seine River, bringing her farm roots and protest history to the table—she’s pushing for tree protection, nature corridors, compost expansion, and stronger city finances. Meanwhile, council greenlit the massive Waters Urban Village project, set to build 3,000 homes and a commercial hub on 100 acres, plus a six-story tower in St. Boniface despite some pushback. Infrastructure gets a boost with a potential $3M skywalk link to the convention centre, a new vacant building reserve fund, and a legal role to seize properties. The Red River Exhibition Association will manage the John Blumberg Sports Complex for 50 years with big upgrades planned, while library parkade repairs are scaled back due to budget. Winnipeg Transit is launching a free youth bus pass program for seven months, capped at 30,000 passes, and a new artificial turf soccer pitch is coming to Burton Cummings Community Centre thanks to a donation and city support.
