Winnipeg community centres hope new wage subsidy helps boost flagging volunteer numbers

Social Sharing As Winnipeg community centres struggle to attract and retain volunteers, the city hopes a new grant and shift to a new governance model can help take pressure off over-burdened staff. The number of volunteers working at Winnipeg's 63 community centres has dropped nearly by half from pre-COVID-19 levels of more than 14,300, to just over 7,800, according to a report from the General Council of Winnipeg Community Centres, an arm's-length organization that works to facilitate operations for the city's community centres. At the same time, many community centres say they lack funding to pay for staff to help with operations and programming. A new report to be presented to city council's executive policy committee next week recommends a new $250,000 annual grant to create a programming and wage subsidy program that would help community centres hire operational and programming staff. The goal is to transition volunteer community centre boards from "working boards" — where board members are responsible for all aspects of running facilities, including maintenance, volunteer recruitment and programming — to a governance model where board members provide direction and oversight to paid staff who lead facility operations and program delivery. "The [current] community centre model that dates back to, you know, the late '50s and '60s, where mom and dad would go down and run the canteen and they'd have programming … and people would get involved just because of their proximity to the community centre," Lora Meseman, executive director of the General Council of Winnipeg Community Centres, said in a Wednesday interview. About one-third of the city's community centres lack full-time managers, Meseman said. Volunteerism rates have dropped across the country, and the motivations for volunteering have changed, she said. While in the past, people offered their time out of a sense of duty or community commitment, volunteers today are often looking for personal fulfilment, skill development or social connections, said Meseman. At the same time, accountability requirements from the City of Winnipeg have become more complicated, adding to the burden volunteer boards must carry. "We see a lot more community members wanting to participate in events, volunteering two or three hours, rather than getting involved long term. So how do we adjust that?" Meseman said. The council developed a 20-year action plan, called Plan 2045, which aims to gradually transform the city's community centres to the new model. It would also clarify roles and responsibilities for volunteers, and increase City of Winnipeg supports to help boards meet their obligations. Board amalgamations considered Although the plan does not call for closing any of the city's community centres, Meseman says part of the solution could be to merge boards from nearby centres, creating a single board to oversee multiple facilities. Some Winnipeg community centres already follow that model, including Valour Community Centre. It runs three facilities — Isaac Brock, Orioles and Clifton (in the Sargent Park area). General manager Liz Jackimec says attracting and retaining volunteers is a "huge challenge" and a "constant struggle." "People don't have the time or they don't understand that … how you improve your community centres, and your community, is by volunteering," she said. "That sense of ownership, of belonging to a community centre, has really gone down in the last … 10 years or so." All community centre buildings are owned by the city, and receive funding based on a formula that takes into account a number of factors, including the building size and the amount of programming. That money pays for utilities and basic maintenance, but not staff, which is why many community centre programs include fees to participate, Meseman said. "So it would be ideal to have programming staff and to have those doors open, have community have access to the facility, without having to pay fees to attend the facility," she said. The council's action plan would be implemented in phases, starting with a governance review and shifting community centre boards to the new model, with the first assessment completed by 2027. Under the plan, the city would also establish a regular assessment process to assess the health and risk level of each community centre, related to governance, finances, programming and the facilities themselves.

Scott Gillingham will seek 2nd term as Winnipeg mayor

Social Sharing Winnipeg Mayor Scott Gillingham says he will seek a second term in 2026, when the city holds its next general election. The former pastor and St. James councillor announced his re-election plans with zero fanfare on Wednesday, issuing a one-word email in response to a CBC News query about whether intends to run again. "Yes," said Gillingham spokesperson Colin Fast in a statement, declining further comment. Gillingham was elected mayor in 2022, winning an 11-candidate race to succeed former mayor Brian Bowman, who now sits as a judge on Manitoba's Court of King's Bench. The margin of victory in that election was the closest for a Winnipeg mayoral race since 1977. Gillingham slipped past former Winnipeg mayor and Ontario Liberal MPP Glen Murray by 4,391 votes, attracting 27.5 per cent of the vote compared to Murray's 25.3 per cent. Gillingham's share of the popular vote in 2022 was also the lowest for any mayor in recent Winnipeg memory. Susan Thompson collected the second-lowest percentage in 1995, when she garnered 38.3 per cent of the popular vote. It is unclear whether the tight nature of the 2022 race will encourage other candidates from that election to try again. CBC News could not reach Murray for comment. He divides his time between Winnipeg and Toronto. Kevin Klein, a former city councillor and PC MLA who finished third in Winnipeg's 2022 mayoral race with 14.8 per cent of the popular vote, did not respond to queries about his potential interest in another run. Klein is now president and CEO of the Klein Group, which owns the Winnipeg Sun. Shaun Loney, who finished fourth in the 2022 race with 14.7 per cent of the vote, said Wednesday he will not run again in 2026. Loney, a founder of several social enterprises, said while he was initially encouraged by early outreach efforts from Gillingham, he is no longer playing an advisory role at city hall. "My door remains open to helping the city reduce crime and with social enterprises and keeping young people at home with green jobs," Loney said in a statement. "My efforts to partner with the mayor and council in these areas — which the city sorely needs — have unfortunately not borne fruit." The other seven mayoral candidates in 2022 earned a combined 17.7 per cent of the popular vote. The last time an incumbent mayor was defeated in an election in Winnipeg was in 1956, when Stephen Juba defeated George Sharpe after the latter completed a single two-year term. Juba and his successors — Bill Norrie, Thompson, Murray, Sam Katz and Brian Bowman — went on to win every election they contested while they served as mayor. It remains to be seen whether Gillingham is more vulnerable to a challenge than previous incumbents. On one hand, the former St. James councillor has largely avoided scandal. His largest crisis, the anger over the Winnipeg Police Service's decision not to search the Prairie Green landfill for the remains of murdered Indigenous women, largely stuck to former Manitoba premier Heather Stefanson. On the other hand, this city continues to struggle with social disparity, homelessness, crime, a shortage of capital to finance major infrastructure projects and increases to the cost of living, including this year's property-tax hike, the largest in Winnipeg in decades. The next civic election is slated for Oct. 28, 2026.
