Storm SurgeS into South Winnipeg!the beginning of the 2015-2016 hockey season saw the emergence of the Winnipeg storm female hockey brand.

sixteen teams from novice to midget age groups were created from the Fort Garry north and south Winnipeg Hockey associations.

VP for the sWHa Female Hockey, nicole Carnegie describes the reason for the change, “We felt it was time to establish one identity

that would encompass all of our female players. the colours are orange and black and our logo features a tornado with long eye lasses and big blue eyes!”

“to support the change, we developed the Female Winter storm Classic outdoor hockey tournament. it’s the first time there has been an all-female tournament in Winnipeg and we are hoping it will become a tradition.”

to find out more information on the Winnipeg storm, please contact [email protected]

the orange and Black are back.

planning underWay for reCreation Complex for South Winnipegone of the biggest complaints long-time residents and newcomers moving to south Winnipeg have are the lack of recreational facilities in the area. But hopefully that may be a thing of the past.

members of the south Winnipeg Community Centre recognized this recreation deficit more than 5 years ago

and initiated discussions with the City of Winnipeg at that point in time. today, we are pleased to share some good news with you. excellent progress is being made on the development of a new community recreation campus for the residents of south Winnipeg!

last november representatives from the south Winnipeg Community Centre (sWCC) and members of the south Winnipeg action team (sWat) met with mayor Brian Bowman and also successfully lobbied City Council to move forward the development of an integrated multi-use community campus in the expanding south Winnipeg area.

We are pleased to announce with the assistance of st. norbert Councillor Janice lukes, City Council unanimously approved $350,000 to support a planning process for the development of a recreation campus and a land planning process for south Winnipeg.

the south Winnipeg Community Centre led the formation of the south Winnipeg action team. sWat is an umbrella organization representing 55,000+ residents and stakeholder organizations in south Winnipeg, focused on improving recreation infrastructure and services in south Winnipeg.

it is clear there is a strong desire, interest and commitment to the pursuit of a showcase community recreation campus as the hub of a regional recreation delivery strategy in south Winnipeg.

the rationale for moving forward is simple as the population increase in south Winnipeg over the past decade has left residents without adequate recreational infrastructure in fact service levels were below the City’s established recreation leisure & library Facilities (rllF) policy before construction of Waverley West neighbourhoods even began more than five years ago.

existing facilities are aging and are not adequate to meet the needs of the City’s most rapidly growing community. the recreation infrastructure deficit in south Winnipeg is equivalent to 3.5 traditional community
