GREENING AND ENVIRONMENT
NEIGHBOURHOOD GREENING PLAN
The Daniel McIntyre / St Matthews Neighbourhood Greening Plan (2016-2021) was developed with input from community members and aims to outline a broad framework for creating a more green and sustainable Daniel McIntyre/St Matthews neighbourhood. It seeks to address diverse issues like creating more parks and green spaces, promoting cycling/walking and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. DMSMCA 2016-2021 Five Year Green Action Plan
NEIGHBOURHOOD CLEAN-UPS
Each spring and fall, DMSMCA hosts neighbourhood clean-ups that attract dozens of residents. At certain cleanups, we also include hazardous waste or electronic waste collection.
Throughout the year, we monitor back lanes and public property to report items like bulky waste, graffiti, illegal dumping and stray shopping carts. We also have 24-hour used needle drop-off container located in our rear parking lot.
Between clean-ups, we urge residents to take advantage of the following resources:
- City of Winnipeg 4R Recycling Depots (the nearest is on Pacific Ave., north of McPhillips.)
- West End BIZ Free Graffiti Removal
- Speedy Cart shopping cart collection 204-786-7600
- What to do if I find a needle?
Consult the city’s “who to call” map for a variety of other community cleanup issues.
COMMUNITY GARDENS
DMSMCA had developed and manages over 70 community garden plots at four sites around the neighbourhood. We assign the plots and ensure water is kept on-site. Working with funding partners, all our sites have seen major upgrades in the past five years, including new boxes, soil and water storage containers.
Inquires about these gardens can be directed to our Greening Coordinator at greening (at) dmsmca.ca or call 204-774-7005. For garden rules or to register for a plot, see our community garden application.
