Whereas, the City of Winnipeg put forward the following Expression of Interest for seven City owned golf courses without community consultation: “City of Winnipeg Expression of Interest for commercial and residential development of city owned Golf Courses - October 26, 2011 497-2011 ”http://www.winnipeg.ca/MatMgt/FolderContents.asp?FOLDER_NAME=497-2011&YEAR=2011

I, as a citizen of Winnipeg request genuine and timely public consultation on the need to protect our natural urban environments including the development of nature spaces, riverbank spaces, and parks. These park lands and river bank corridors add value to my community and we, the public should be engaged in the discussion of what we would like to see done with these publicly owned spaces ahead of developers and third party interests.
• I would like my City to build trust by working with recommendations of citizens’ committees and not allow developers to sidestep the intent.
• I would like to be ensured that the plan to protect our natural urban environments incorporates sustainable development principles
• I would like to be ensured that only low impact activities that let us enjoy the benefits of health and wellness be utilized for these greenspaces. Cross-country skiing, golfing, soccer, walking, biking, birding and simply enjoying urban greenspace are among the low impact activities these spaces can provide.
