Welcome to the Bishop Grandin Greenway
9/30/2022: The Board of the “Greenway” commemorates the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and acknowledges the inherent harms of residential schools on Indigenous Peoples.
After consultations with First Nations representatives including residential school survivors, a report has been drafted with recommendations for new names for our greenway and the adjacent boulevard. We are hopeful that the report will be presented to city council shortly into their new term, and look forward to changing our official name as a small step toward reconciliation.

Rocks on the Greenway
Look out for painted rocks on the greenway, and let us know if you find any! See our latest blog post for more details. ******** Read about our first Food Forest planting on our NEWS page! Together, we can reinstate a natural habitat of native vegetation, learn about regenerative agriculture in a beautiful outdoor setting, and enhance Winnipeg’s urban tree canopy. We are looking to raise $6,500 to cover the cost of its installment. If you would like to support the initiative, donations can be made HERE. ******** Bishop Grandin Greenway is a space that has been developed by the people of the community for the people of our community.
