Description
OurWinnipeg will feature a ‘call to action’ strategy document, summarizing the community vision and sustainability principles and outlining short-term actions, and a municipal land use and development plan. The strategy will be developed through a phased community consultation program featuring a website and online social network, roundtable and face-to-face meetings, a youth-led street team and public-led background studies. The consultation program will be informed by background research, forecasts, and policy recommendations in areas such as employment, residential lands, commercial lands, natural lands, parks, transportation, water, waste, urban design, arts and heritage. After completing the strategy, the city will prepare its land use and development plan, a legally binding implementation plan, and six context documents. The context documents will outline medium- and long-term action and implementation plans in the areas of sustainability (including energy and waste), city competitiveness, communities, safety and security, arts, and city building (including water, brownfields and transportation). As part of its strategy for measurement and reporting, the city will identify community indicators that can be monitored on an annual basis.
