Regional Planning By-law: Plan20-50

The Winnipeg Metropolitan Region (WMR) has prepared Plan20-50, a 30-year regional plan for Manitoba’s Capital Region that provides a long-term framework to coordinate land use, servicing, and infrastructure. Plan20-50 sets the blueprint for a resilient, sustainable, and globally competitive region. Plan20-50 considers: community growth and development, infrastructure investment and servicing, regional economic development, watershed and natural asset stewardship, climate resilience, agriculture and resources, and collaboration with Indigenous Nations.
