Judy Wasylycia-Leis announced today she will establish the OurWinnipeg Task Force if she is elected mayor to make sure the city’s most important planning document guides all future municipal development.
“OurWinnipeg is a good plan that has gathered dust because the interests of a few well connected developers have been put ahead of the public interest,” said Wasylycia-Leis. “If I am elected, I am committed to ensuring we are guided by responsible, smart, innovative and forward- thinking urban planning and that all citizens will have a voice in that plan.”
This task force, which will be appointed within the first 100 days of Judy’s administration, will be mandated to ensure that city policy and decisions reflect the spirit and intent of the OurWinnipeg Plan.
This group of community experts will also be asked to identify any gaps in the plan with a particular focus on economic development, transportation, environmental sustainability, quality of life, public safety and community diversity.
“This is a wonderful community with great people. With the right plan and appropriate political will, we can take back our rightful place as one of the great Canadian cities,” said Wasylycia-Leis. “We have all the ingredients. Now we need to get to work to bring them together.”
