CPAWS Manitoba urges mayoral candidates to protect Assiniboine Forest
Global News
The title of 'National Urban Park" would protect the land from being developed, and would bring in federal dollars for its maintenance and preservation.
The Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS) Manitoba has launched a campaign urging mayoral candidates to pledge protection of the Assiniboine Forest as a National Urban Park.
In August 2021, the city entered into an agreement with the federal government to establish a National Urban Park. The location has not yet been announced but there are some proposals on the table.
Some of the mayoral candidates joined a CPAWS press conference in the Forest on Saturday to discuss their support including:
Mayoral Candidates
Charleswood-Tuxedo-Westwood City Council Ward Candidates
Additionally, Brant Field spoke. He is running for councillor in River-Heights/Fort Garry.
Mayoral candidate Glen Murray did not attend Saturday’s event, but he did send a statement containing his thoughts on the subject.
“I’m excited that ideas like making Assiniboine Forest a national urban park are being advanced by various groups, and we should celebrate these great efforts,” he wrote.
