2021 was a good year for Waverley

Hey there, time traveller!

As I look back on 2021, I am so pleased to see the growth and development of our community. Our Progressive Conservative government has made key investments in capital infrastructure and community facilities to provide safe, modern, state-of-the-art recreational spaces for residents, visitors, and future generations to enjoy.

Here are some of the highlights from this past year, specifically here in Waverley:

Our government recently announced a trilateral investment for the first phase of the South Winnipeg recreation campus. Over $31 million is being invested by the province in this $90-million facility. This local project will help ensure that residents of all ages can get together, meet, and share activities that keep them active and healthy. Investments in community infrastructure make our province and community a better place to live, work, and play.

We are also proceeding with the development of two new schools in Waverley West. This includes a kindergarten to Grade 8 school for an enrolment of 800 students, with a target completion date of December 2022, and a grades 9 to 12 school for an enrolment of 1,200 students, with a target completion date of June 2023. Both schools will be constructed on a single Waverley West schools’ campus, in the newly approved subdivision. These new facilities build on our government’s commitment to build 20 new schools over 10 years to meet the needs of our growing community.

Our government is committed to supporting families and individuals while continuing to make meaningful investments in the community. Investments such as these will provide opportunities for growth and stimulate the economy, benefitting Manitobans for years to come. I am proud of the contributions our government has made in the Waverley constituency, but I know that there is still more work to do. You can count on me to continue advocating for investing in community development projects and a prosperous future for all Manitobans.

I remain committed to sustainable community engagement from residents, community leaders, and other local elected officials to discuss initiatives for our community’s benefit. I am still the local MLA, and I have always valued grassroots engagement. If you have any questions or concerns, I invite you to connect by contacting my Waverley constituency office at 204-261-7272 or by emailing jon@jonreyes.ca

I hope you enjoy a warm, safe, and happy holiday, and I truly wish you all the very best in 2022!
