The Downtown Winnipeg BIZ is inviting Winnipeggers to "make stuff happen" by sharing their vision for our city’s downtown.

With recent announcements including a new commercial office tower, a potential significant investment in Portage Place and other projects already under construction, it’s the perfect time to talk about downtown’s future and how our team can contribute to its success.

We would love to hear your input on a number of topics including safety, usage, transportation, perceptions and priorities. The information collected will help set the direction for our new 2020 - 2022 strategic plan that will also include a rebrand that will align with the growth and vibrancy of our downtown.

You can provide your input over the next month in several ways, including:

• Visit the Idea Pop Up in Portage Place this week (unit 137 Portage Place)

• Go online to www.downtownwinnipegbiz.com/makestuffhappen

By completing the survey, you will also be entered to win one of five, One Hundred Dollar Gift Cards to a downtown Winnipeg business of your choice.

Our team is excited to launch the new strategic plan and remain committed to beautifying, improving and promoting downtown Winnipeg. We look forward to working together and hearing your vision for the future our city’s downtown.
