Community Charter

A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome:

After a process of broad consultation with local community organizations, UWinnipeg has implemented a series of principles, which are encompassed in a Community Charter to accompany the opening of its new recreational and sports complex, the United Health and Recplex. The Principles, ratified by UWinnipeg's Board of Regents on June 18, 2012, guarantees access to community activities in the United Health & RecPlex now and into the future.

The University of Winnipeg is an urban campus serving diverse communities of interests
,
encompassing those of our students, faculty and staff,
as well as those of the Community,
namely,
the
urban core
area
and the
City of Winnipeg at large
. The University is committed to
continuing to build partnerships throug
h programs and initiatives that
more closely integrate the
objectives and aspirations of
the
University with
those of the
broader
Community

From the Charter:
"The UNITED Health & RecPlex, a facility that integrates a newly built field house and recreational facilities with existing and newly-renovated recreational activity and wellness space in the Duckworth Centre, provides an opportunity to realize the academic objectives and mission of the University, in the best interests of both the University and the wider Community as they move forward together in a collaborative and transformative way."
