Strengthening Winnipeg’s Food Future

On December 9, 2025, CEM presented to the Executive Policy Committee, chaired by Mayor Scott Gillingham, urging stable funding for the Winnipeg Food Council and a long‑term urban agriculture and food security strategy.

We highlighted community‑led successes made possible through the Urban Agriculture and Community Gardens Small Grants Program — including Fireweed Co‑op’s pay‑what‑you‑can veggie van and IRCOM’s balcony gardens — both expanding access to fresh foods for low‑income families and building climate‑resilient neighbourhoods.
