About Us

Bishop Grandin Greenway Inc. Mission Statement
To create, enhance and conserve an accessible network of nature areas and public pathways that link and support both human and wildlife communities along Bishop Grandin Blvd.

In 2000, volunteers spearheaded the development of the Greenway in response to concerns of local seniors who had expressed concern over the decline of green space in St. Vital. With the help of partnering organizations ( see partners ), Bishop Grandin Greenway and it's volunteers have engaged the community to restore greenspace; increase awareness, appreciation, and knowledge of the area's natural and historical value; and develop an active living venue for people to enjoy.

Bishop Grandin Greenway Inc.’s current mandate is to establish a Greenway between the Red and Seine Rivers. The development will be consistent with the Greeway's four Core Values: Biodiversity, Wellness, Community, and Stewardship. For more detail, see our goals and objectives.
