Engage Winnipeg Policy update
The Engage Winnipeg Policy has been in place since 2019 and we just completed a mandatory five-year review.
As part of the review, we found we were not meeting all of the principles of engagement all the time. We found that although we looked for ways to reduce barriers to engagement for some groups, it was not always a key focus of engagement.
Following the review, we are recommending changes to the policy to:
Better align the Policy with new City of Winnipeg plans, policies, and strategies that the City adopted since 2019.
Shift towards centering equity in engagement. This means every step in the process focuses on identifying and reducing participation barriers.
Provide clearer definitions and responsibilities.
Move closer to the Policy’s vision.
The Executive Policy Committee of Council will review the recommended changes on March 12, 2024.
An administrative report with the attached recommended policy changes is now available. If you would like to participate in the meeting, please submit comments in writing or register as a delegation by March 11 at noon.
Consultation has concluded
