Help us create a neighbourhood plan for Point Douglas.

Together, let’s create a vision for the long-term future of the neighbourhood. The Point Douglas Neighbourhood Plan will help guide future land use and development in the area.

The neighbourhood plan will include rules about where new buildings can be built and what they should look like. It will ensure that:

  • A variety of housing exists for a wide range of people
  • New housing is compatible with the existing houses
  • Parks and other amenities are within walking distance of residents
  • Point Douglas continues to develop as a walkable, bikeable, and transit-oriented community

We are currently reviewing feedback from Phase 1 engagement, which will help us draft the Point Douglas Neighbourhood Plan. In Phase 2, we will present the draft Point Douglas Neighbourhood Plan and get your feedback. Learn more about the project.

    The opportunities abound!

    by Donna M, about 2 months ago
    We're newer to Winnipeg. We've lived primarily in western Canada but also in other cities in the world. Not many are lucky enough to have beautiful little pockets like Point Douglas.


    I did not immediately fall in love with Point Doug. For years, my husband would drive me around and point out neglected buildings we could buy - he could not fathom why it wasn't already a sought after place to live being surrounded by the river. At the start my answer was always Hard No. All I saw was poverty and neglect. Nevertheless, he persisted and I started to... Continue reading

    Reno on the river

    by Richo, about 2 months ago

    I love Point Douglas. How could you not? There is a community, a neglected one, but still a community full of people that are passionate about Point Douglas.

    When I first moved to Winnipeg 8 years ago, I would drive around Point Douglas and check out the old buildings and the proximity to the river and wonder why the area was the way it was. How could Point Douglas not be a destination neighbourhood for the city? Having lived in a few cities, I thought everyone wants to live near the water! I researched and found a zoning nightmare!! I... Continue reading

    Beautify the river bank

    by Doug Wiebe, 3 months ago
    I have taken the river cruise along the Red River/Assiniboine twice this summer with tourist guests.

    The garbaged campsite along the way are quite an eyesore.

    May I suggest, to be reconsidered not only as beautification but also addressing summer homelessness that proper

    Numbered campsites be erected along the river banks of both rivers, to include:

    1. A walkway adjoining the sites, which are leveled and maintained. 2: Open beach type showers about a block apart; 3. fire pits and picnic table at each campsite; sheltered table areas; 4. Proper tents provided free by the city upon request 5. Toilets... Continue reading

    Long Neglected, Deserving of Better

    by KokusaiCanuck, 3 months ago
    I am newer to the area, but have lived in neighbouring areas all of my life, so I knew Point Douglas was so much more than its reputation. I am proud to be part of the community now. As another commenter said, the poverty-related problems often make the news, but in reality, this community is lively, tight-knit, vibrant, loving, and multi-cultural. It is full of people working to make things better for everyone in the community. The development potential for this area is incredible.


    As a start, I would love for something to be done about derelict/abandoned buildings, both residential... Continue reading

    The Heart of the City

    by Delighted to live in NPD, 3 months ago
    I moved to NPD 10 years ago, not knowing very much about the neighbourhood except the poverty-related problems that often make the news. To my delighted surprise, what i found when I got here was a vibrant, creative, caring, multicultural community, with lots of neighbourhood events and celebrations, and a rich array of caring and creative organizations and programs. It's the heart of the old city of Red River Settlement, and the heart of the city of Winnipeg we live in today. The poverty-related problems exist and need to be addressed with better subsistence funding for the poor people and... Continue reading

    Worked in Point Douglas for 26 years

    by Stephen Wilson, 5 months ago
    We are a Community Youth Arts Centre and have been serving the children, youth and families of Point Douglas, and surrounding neighbourhoods, for 26 years. During that time we have been involved in numerous 'plans' for the area. We love this small corner of the city for its beauty and rich history. And would very much like to be a part of this planning process.
