Last year, the WRA Transportation Committee surveyed Wolseley residents to hear your thoughts on transportation. As we use this data to better our neighborhood, we wanted to share these results with you.

One of the clearest takeaways from the report was the widespread support for a reduced residential speed limit. 60% of respondents expressed support for a speed limit of 30km/h within Wolseley, while only 26% opposed this change.

To learn more, you can read the full report here.

These results have already informed our engagement with various City of Winnipeg officials. We are hopeful these ongoing conversations will result in a safe, sustainable, and efficient transportation network for everyone in our neighbourhood.

Our winter river season is well underway!

 Just a reminder that ice conditions change from day to day and everyday is different down at ice level.

Please use caution & common sense down on the river! 
We always need folks available to shovel & to help flood the trails & rinks!
