ABOUT EVENT:
In 2009, the Assiniboine Park Conservancy unveiled a bold redevelopment plan for Assiniboine Park that has breathed new life into this cherished and historic community asset. The opening of The Leaf – Canada’s Diversity Gardens will mark the end of this incredible journey and the beginning of an exciting new chapter for the Park and the City of Winnipeg.
Assiniboine Park Conservancy President and CEO, Margaret Redmond, will share lessons learned over more than a decade of development and reflect on the future of Assiniboine Park, how The Leaf – Canada’s Diversity Gardens is a project of its time, and why Winnipeg is the perfect place to bring it to life.
