Consultation and redesign of Air Canada Park

Winnipeg's Downtown Recovery Strategy outlines the need to create places downtown where everyone feels a sense of belonging. One of the key strategic action items identified is to invest in Air Canada Park to create a welcoming space for all users of the park. The redevelopment is one of several high-impact projects being supported by the City of Winnipeg.

Scatliff+ Miller + Murray are speaking with park users, nearby residents and business owners to better understand what would make Air Canada Park more welcoming, how the future of the park can promote wellness and safety, and how to better meet the needs of current and future park users.
