The North End Community Renewal Corporation (NECRC) operates under gudiance of its community members, resident associations, local businesses, faith based and cultural organizations. These partners have an eqaul opportunity to provide their opinions on needs in the North End which is then compiled into a report. This report, the 5 Year North End Community Plan, is set to expire, with the new report guiding NECRC from 2016-2021. We (Youth) were identified as the number one priority of the North End in the previous 2011-2016 report, and such want to encourage you all to support the youth of the North End for the upcoming period. To further enhance youth participation in this process, the North End Youth Council is holding an event at the Indian & Metis Friendship Centre (45 Robinson Street) on Tuesday November 24th from 4:30-7pm (doors open at 4pm) to celebrate, and also to receive feedback from the community.

Recreation and Wellness
In 2014 the Recreation and Wellness committee began as the LiveSafe Recreation Steering Committee. LiveSafe had representation from the City of Winnipeg, William Whyte Residents Assoc., Dufferin Residents Assoc, St. John’s Residents Assoc., Aboriginal Vision, North End Youth and NECRC. We continue working on addressing Recreational and Leisure needs for the North End. In June 2014, Darryl Bruce left NECRC for other endeavors. We would like to thank Darryl Bruce for his contribution towards improving recreation services in the North End. In September, 2014, we welcomed Andrew Sannie as the new LiveSafe Recreation Facilitator. He has continued working on existing Recreation activities and new initiatives based on community needs and priorities as the North End Wellness Recreation Liaison.

The North End Hockey Program is off to another successful season, boasting 150 active and participating youth on nine different teams. 2015 will see the implementation of a few new facilities in the process of development; there are three major projects either in early to mid-development or planning, these include: Machray Park redevelopment planned for 2015, Powers Park redevelopment planned for 2015 and a proposed BMX Park still in planning.
