Thank-you so much to everyone for being so understanding at this very uncertain time. We will be taking our first steps to begin opening Winakwa's doors back up beginning June 8th. We will not be rescheduling any events or taking any bookings in at this time.
If you have a scheduled booking here at Winakwa, we are working hard to reach out to everyone as fast as possible.
Please wait for Winakwa to reach out to you.

MINI SOCCER
I know many of you have patiently been awaiting this answer, unfortunately at this time we will be cancelling the mini soccer program for 2020 in accordance with the City of Winnipeg Health By law (Covid 19). This includes mini soccer, smurfs and tykes.
Over the next 3 weeks you will receive a full refund for all monies paid at registration. We look forward to a 2021 season that will see our fields filled with fun and laughter.
Thanks in advance!

WINAKWA COMMUNITY GARDEN
The Winakwa Community Garden Committee has fantastic news, we’ve been given the green light to continue the garden program for this years coming growing season. We are currently figuring out social distancing and other protocols to keep everyone safe at the garden site. Stay tuned as we work out best practices during the pandemic. Happy planting and see you in the garden!
During the COVID 19 pandemic your health and safety are our priority. Please adhere to the following protocols when gardening at the Winakwa Community Garden site:
- 6 foot social distancing
- Wear a mask (optional)
- Wear garden gloves when getting water from the water tote
- Bring your own garden tools
- Bring your own watering can
- Only garden in your own garden box
- Do NOT exceed 10 people at the site
A rotational schedule is currently under development and will be implemented within the coming weeks and may evolve as the season progresses. The schedule will be emailed to our gardeners once completed and posted to our FB and Instagram pages for reference.
Please note that due to the current situation there is a higher chance of misappropriation of food from the gardens this year. The Winakwa Community Garden Committee will be designating the North East and North West in-ground ploted areas for the public during the pandemic to help deter theft and for replacement crops. Our committee will also place a Free Produce Shelf at the site where you have the option of placing any over abundance of crops which will be available to everyone in the community.
Also, the Winakwa Community Centre is generously waiving the administration fee for this year and are marking the garden boxes down to $20 per raised garden box because they recognize the hardships many people face during the pandemic. If you’ve already registered your garden boxes prior to this decision, please email the Winakwa Community Centre and they will issue a reimbursement.
Thank you for your cooperation and continued understanding during these uncharted times.
