We’re updating Winnipeg’s zoning by-laws.

Zoning shapes our neighbourhoods—how buildings look, where shops and services go, and how streets and public spaces feel. It sets the rules for how land and buildings can be used and developed.

Winnipeg has two zoning by-laws—one for downtown and one for the rest of the city. They were last fully updated about 20 years ago.

We’re creating one new, modern zoning by-law for the whole city. It will be easier to use, support more housing options, and better match how Winnipeg is growing today.
