Summary
The City of Winnipeg will vote on a motion introduced by Councillors Sherri Rollins and Brian Mayes to examine a district thermal energy system along Graham Avenue, a project that could transform how downtown buildings are heated and cooled.
City officials have already engaged stakeholders along Graham Avenue, including Manitoba Hydro, Manitoba Public Insurance, the Southern Chiefs’ Organization, the Royal Winnipeg Ballet, True North Sports + Entertainment, and the Women’s Health Clinic.
Rollins noted that the idea of a geothermal district is significant for environmental advocates, faith-based groups, and community organisations, some of which have been urging the city to make tangible progress on climate initiatives. She also recognised that studies often don’t make headlines but argued that in this case, technical groundwork is essential for assessing viability and long-term affordability.
