Celebrating upgrades at John Forsyth Park

Seine River

On Sept. 29, I had the pleasure of attending the opening ribbon-cutting ceremony at John Forsyth Park, here in Seine River. The celebration was a wonderful opportunity for our community to gather and showcase the new improvements made to our local park.

Following the renovations, John Forsyth Park features brand new fitness facilities, a paved walkway, and an outdoor classroom to be used by community members and students at École Christine-Lespérance. I look forward to seeing seniors staying active by using the fitness equipment, children learning in the outdoor classroom, and parents enjoying the new pathway.

John Forsyth Park has always been a place where residents of all ages come to gather, play and celebrate. With the new improvements, the park will become an even stronger part of our community here in Seine River.

I want to express my unwavering gratitude for the work of the federal government, the Province of Manitoba, and the City of Winnipeg for turning the dreams of upgrading this park into a reality.

However, this project would not be possible without the dedication of local community members and organizations. I would like to say a special thank you to Dominique Gosselin and the parent advisory committee of École Christine Lespérance for your hard work on this project. Your input ensured that these improvements reflect the needs of the people who use this park every day. This collaboration shows the strength of our community and what we can achieve when we work together.

The upgrades made to John Forsyth Park represent our government’s dedication to fostering health, wellness, and community in Manitoba. Healthy living starts with safe spaces where people can gather, learn, and stay active at any age.

Looking to the future, I know this park will be filled with the bright smiles of family and friends, making lasting memories. For years to come, John Forsyth Park will remain a place for everyone, and I cannot wait to see the joy it will bring to our community.

As your MLA for Seine River, I am proud to see this investment in our community, and it was an honour to celebrate with all of you. It is a great privilege to continue representing Seine River and supporting projects such as the upgrades to John Forsyth Park that work to bring people together.

I look forward to many more beautiful days and memories made at John Forsyth Park.

Maarsii. Merci. Thank you.
