From the Winnipeg Free Press–Beside a community centre on Burrows Avenue, an excavator scoops up dirt at the future home of a new basketball court and playground.
All three levels of government broke ground Wednesday morning at the Northwood Community Centre to mark the start of the recreational area, designed to provide inner-city kids with a sense of belonging.
“The Northwood Community Centre has always been a hub of activity, a place where families gather, friendships are formed and memories are made,” said Point Douglas Coun. Vivian Santos. “With these new enhancements we’re not only improving the physical landscape but also fostering an environment that promotes health, wellness and inclusivity.”
