“South Winnipeg is growing rapidly, and our government is committed to building the necessary infrastructure for families,” said Consumer Protection and Government Services Minister Lisa Naylor in a release. “During the campaign, we promised a new recreation campus in south Winnipeg, and we are delivering. Today, we commence the first phase with a state-of-the-art vocational training wing for students that will be a key part of the campus.”
The new 19,000-square-foot wing is a part of the Manitoba government’s broader investment in the South Winnipeg Recreation Campus. This facility will offer students training in various skills, including culinary arts, machining, welding, and woodworking technology.
“This investment in the vocational wing by the Manitoba government reflects our shared commitment to developing a multi-use, multi-generational campus to meet community needs,” said Mayor Scott Gillingham. “I anticipate continued collaboration with the Manitoba government to bring this project to fruition for south Winnipeg residents.”
City of Winnipeg led the procurement for the new wing, with construction set to begin at the end of the summer and completion expected by September 2026.
