Norwood Community Centre
DOG PARK closed for season
Thanks to GM Barry Nacci, Tim
Frymire and his committee of Norwood volunteers, Norwood BOD, The City
of Winnipeg, and the GCWCC for all their work in making the dog park a
huge success! Neighbors and friends were able to meet and let the pups
play in a safe space! See you in the Spring!
Statement about "tot" play structure in Norwood CC Park:
"Hi, some quick information about this from your Councillor Matt Allard’s office. This concerns the tot structure not the main one. City staff inspected the tot play structure yesterday and found numerous safety deficiencies on it, as was anticipated as it approached the end of its service life and was about 30 years old. Ideally it can be replaced along with some kind of bundled project to replace/rebuild the wading pool which is also ageing, but if necessary it’s also very feasible to simply rebuild it with something similar next year as a standalone project. When old playstructures are found to be exhibiting signs of failure they’re required to be removed. This is a fairly normal part of their life cycle, and there is always a brief gap between the removal of the old one and creation of the new ones Can and will put a new one up. Hope this clarifies thé situation. Thanks,
Ryan Palmquist Executive Assistant Councillor Matt Allard"

Norwood Flats For Ukraine
In
late February 2022, a group of Norwood Flats neighbours came together
in support of humanitarian efforts for Ukraine refugees. In that short
time, we have created a fundraising committee, a volunteer corp, a
facebook group, an Instagram account, and will be undertaking
fundraising and settlement initiatives in the winter and spring of 2022.
Please join the facebook group and find us at instagram “Norwood Flats for Ukraine”, and/or email NorwoodFlatsForUkraine@gmail.com to stay up-to-date on initiatives and how you can help.

We are excited to share that Norwood CC has been selected by @CTJumpstart to receive a grant from their Sport Relief Fund. The fund helps community sport
organizations like ours continue to provide access to sport and play for
Canadian kids. This grant will be used to buy new nets to make sure the Norwood community has a safe and accessible place to practice and play soccer!
Old nets that have seen some awesome soccer!
The future of soccer at Norwood- new nets! Now we just need some rain for the grass!

Open letter to community of Norwood
Hello Norwood! February 2021
Here is hoping this letter finds you safe and well. If not, please reach out and let us know how the NCC can better support you. My email is nccboardpresident@gmail.com
Although my wife and I have benefited from and supported the Norwood community centre since having kids in 2010, now taking on the presidents’ role I feel more accountability towards the leadership aspect of continuing to support a strong community where the centre is a safe friendly space to help promote and catalyze these bonds, nurturing a very neighbourly area of the city as it is. Whether you have lived here for a long or short time, we want to hear from you.
When the pandemic restrictions ease and we can get back to in-person programming (Note: there are some active programs that are currently operating over zoom), please consider what the NCC already has to offer www.norwoodcc.ca, while also allowing your creative side to shine. We are always open to new program ideas, one-off events, and volunteers to help turn them into reality. We are currently conducting monthly board meetings on zoom and would be happy to have anyone listen in if they would like to get more acquainted with what is happening.
On behalf of the board, we wish everyone the best and look forward to helping support you in 2021 (and beyond)!
Cheers,
Jay Downs, NCC President
