"It's a very important project, not just for Transcona, and I want to stress that - it's all of east Winnipeg," Wyatt said in an interview. Gillingham pledges more funding for recreation and parks, while Loney releases campaign donor list.Russ Wyatt endorsed then-mayoral candidate Scott Gillingham during the 2022 election "solely" because he promised to expedite the construction of the East of the Red Rec Plex. There's been tons of homes built here in the last 10 or 15 years," said Wetton-Salo. It comes at a time when the population in the area has seen significant growth in recent years. Soil remediation work has already begun at the site - part of the reason the cost increased in the latest update, along with costs to make the building more energy efficient and the need for additional parking now that rapid transit and park 'n ride facilities are no longer planned at the site. The city hopes to make the new facility a one-stop recreation hub, including a wave pool, waterslide, lap pool, track and gym. "Having lived on the east side my entire life, I continue to see investments by the city on the west side of the city … but here on the east side we don't have a ton of options." "Even if it costs extra money, I still would love this facility to be built," she said. That doesn't bother residents like Michelle Wetton-Salo, who has waited years for the centre, which the city plans to build next to the Transcona Library. The cost of a new recreation complex in east Winnipeg has gone up $7 million even though shovels won't hit the ground for at least another three years.Ī new feasibility study on the East of the Red Rec Plex set the start date for construction in 2026 and estimated it will cost $89.2 million, up from $82.2 million in 2020, the last time the city put a price on the project.
