Vegetation Management Advisory

January 2026

Manitoba Hydro has identified a large number of trees and vegetation growing within safe limits of approach of an important overhead electrical circuit located in southeast Winnipeg, as identified on the included map.

These hazard trees and vegetation pose a risk to the electrical equipment, power reliability and public safety. To address this, Manitoba Hydro has hired a certified utility tree trimming contractor to trim and, in some cases, remove trees and vegetation deemed to be a hazard now or in the future. Our contractor conducting the work will make a reasonable effort to reach out to property owners when trees being addressed are located on private property. Work is anticipated to start on January 20 and should take approx. 6 weeks.

This work will provide adequate clearance to power lines, which will reduce the likelihood of power outages, potential fires, and downed lines due to tree contact.

Thank you for your patience and understanding as we conduct this work.

Bonavista Recreation Centre Project updates

Phase 2 public engagement summary and feasibility study complete

The Phase 2 public engagement summary and appendices are available. The summary shares what we heard from residents and how we considered the feedback.

The feasibility study and early cost estimate are also complete. The Class 4 cost estimate (accuracy of -30% to +60%) to build the project in 2028 is $30 million. The Bonavista Recreation Centre could be built in two phases to better fit available funding. Phase 1 could include the multi-purpose rooms, parking, and soccer field for an estimated $13 million. Phase 2 could include the gymnasium, additional parking, and the outdoor courts and would be built in the future as funding becomes available.

Council approval and funding is needed before moving to the next stage of design and construction.

Le résumé de la participation publique et les annexes (anglais seulement) ont été publiés. Le résumé présente les commentaires que nous avons obtenus de la population et la façon dont nous en avons pris compte.

L’étude de faisabilité (anglais seulement) et les estimations préliminaires des coûts sont aussi achevées. L’estimation des coûts de catégorie 4 (exactitude de -30 % à +60 %) pour réaliser les travaux liés au projet en 2028 est de 30 millions de dollars. On pourrait construire le centre de loisirs de Bonavista en deux phases en fonction des fonds disponibles. La phase 1 pourrait inclure les salles polyvalentes, le terrain de stationnement et le terrain de soccer (coût total estimatif de 13 millions de dollars). La phase 2 aurait lieu à mesure que les fonds nécessaires deviennent disponibles, et pourrait inclure le gymnase, des places de stationnement supplémentaires et d’autres terrains extérieurs.

Il faudra obtenir l’approbation et des fonds du conseil municipal avant de passer à l’étape suivante de la conception et de la construction.
