Community Services, Parks, and Protection are all Priorities for the City of Winnipeg – Part 1

With the advent of summer, the City of Winnipeg is preparing to protect its citizens in open spaces and public parks, especially with the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, which serves as a large challenge for society alongside the decision to open up and return to normalcy.

This episode will present a talk given at Winnipeg City Hall, which hosted several expert speakers to share their experience in this field. The session was titled Protection, Community Services and Parks. This session is divided into two episodes of "Civic Platform". The first part features Carol Phillips, Executive Director, Winnipeg Arts Council – Winnipeg. Phillips has held various positions in the arts in Winnipeg and has honoured Canada in many international forums. Also featured is Michael Jack, Chief Administrative Officer of the City of Winnipeg. Jack oversees all aspects of Winnipeg's public service and contributes to the city's programs toward homelessness, safe downtown, and affordable housing.
