All three levels of government, along with community funding partners, broke ground on improvements for John Forsyth Park (475 John Forsyth Rd.) on May 26.
The park improvements include new fitness equipment, a paved path, and an outdoor classroom to serve area residents and students at École Christine-Lespérance. The project cost is $859,000, with $250,000 from the City’s Community and Neighbourhood Parks program, $200,000 funded through the Canada Community-Building Fund, and $300,000 from the province’s Building Sustainable Communities fund.
In addition to support from governments, other funding is being provided through a Trails Manitoba grant ($70,000), Kal Tire RePlay grant ($20,000), Economic Development Council for Manitoba Bilingual Municipalities ($10,000), and Assiniboine Credit Union/Caisse Assiniboine ($9,000).
