Residents seeking to get active this winter season are encouraged to get outside and enjoy a wide-range of City trails, while staying safe. Persons of all ages and abilities are invited to embrace the beauty of Winnipeg winters, safely and responsibly as you can still follow provincial health orders while getting some much-needed fresh air.
While some of our amenities are closed due to public health orders, our parks, dog parks, trails, and active transportation pathways are open throughout the winter.
Our active transportation routes receive an enhanced level of snow clearing to ensure these important connections are available to users throughout the winter months. More information, including a sidewalk snow clearing priority map, see: Snow Clearing.
