Title - A Sustainable Winnipeg

The decisions we make today will have significant impacts on the kind of city we leave to future generations. What does it mean go green?  While going green with recylcing programs and other environmental stewardship programs are important, can we do more?  Winnipeg’s long-term plan is focused on enhancing the social, environmental and economic sustainability of our city.
