does Neighbourhoods Alive! work? What
is Neighbourhoods Alive?
The Manitoba Government
created Neighbourhoods Alive! to provide community organizations
in designated neighbourhoods with the support they need to rebuild
these neighbourhoods. Neighbourhoods Alive! recognizes that often
the best ideas for neighbourhood revitalization come from the
community itself. The aim of Neighbourhoods Alive! is to support
these ideas and goals with funding and planning assistance.
Neighbourhoods
Alive! works with
- residents;
- community groups;
- schools;
- businesses; and
- other local organizations
Together, we can build
on the existing strengths and experiences of communities, and
take into account the distinctive needs, conditions and priorities
of individual neighbourhoods.

revitalization efforts in designated neighbourhoods in a number
of key areas including:
- housing
and physical improvements;
- employment and training;
- education and recreation; and
- safety and crime prevention

Where
are the Neighbourhoods Alive! communities?
Support from Neighbourhoods
Alive! is available to community organizations in designated neighbourhoods
in Winnipeg, Brandon and Thompson. These cities have been chosen
because of the immediate opportunity to link Neighbourhoods Alive!
to existing revitalization programs offered by the municipalities
and federal government. By working with other levels of government,
Neighbourhoods Alive! maximizes the assistance available to community
groups, while providing single-window access to a range of government
services.
