*2022 BIRDHOUSES ARE BACK
BIRDHOUSES ARE BACK — and so are the birds! This challenge has the potential to lead you to all our LWs parks! On social media, we’ve posted about our new line-up of accommodations for our feathered friends! We’ve hung birdhouses in trees on private property, visible from the street-AND-between two of our three neighbourhood parks (Van Walleghem Park and Muys Park). Birdhouses have been decorated by local youth and are more akin to starter homes than some decidedly bachelor houses from last year’s collection, and the artists were more than willing to take on the snazzy structures. QR codes on the birdhouses, will link to LWCC website telling you if you found the feature birdhouse and how to win. When you send a selfie with the right birdhouse, to our Instagram account or email, you will be entered into the draw for weekly prizes. The weekly winners, will head to LWCC, right next door to Kleysen Park, the third park in our neighborhood. At LWCC your prize redemption will be products from our newly renovated and recently opened canteen

*2021 Temporary traffic details / MAPS FOR LINDEN LIGHTS
|
To assist in managing increased traffic in the neighbourhood this holiday season, the City of Winnipeg will be installing temporary turn restrictions we hope will mitigate ongoing traffic concerns.
<< Temporary turn restrictions will be installed at the north intersection of Lindenwood Drive E and Foxmeadow Drive and are as follows:
<< Temporary turn restrictions will also be implemented at the following locations:
The turn restrictions will apply between 6:00 pm and 9:00 pm, seven days a week. A “temporary” tab will be included on the signs to indicate these are not a permanent change and the restrictions will be removed following the holidays once traffic queues have eased. |

*Nov 8th - Review
CTV news clip
Board members Joelle and Julie, and admin support Jennifer, were instrumental in bringing the hugely popular craft sale back to the community, after a 15yr hiatus. It was a resounding success. Due to the un-expected balmy weather, the parking was able to extend behind the Community Ctr, making for much less parking congestion on the streets. The more than 50 vendors in attendance, saw nearly one thousand folks meandering throughout LWCC and by all accounts, were pleased with the turnout and their sales.
The silent auction prize winners were:
Basket #1 Raphael
Basket #2 Beth M
Basket #3 Carmen M
Basket #4 Saira
Basket #5 Nadine B
Basket #6 Sofia P
Basket #7 Veronica
Basket #8 Cheryl C
Thank you to the many crafters, shoppers, and volunteers, who contributed to the success of this event.

PREPPING ... for Garage Sale
- Set up – Car break-ins what they are, it is probably wise to keep your car garaged, and just get up earlier than normal, for set up. Maybe create a map of your tables (and where items will sit) and chalk off sections of your driveway, so there is a dedicated location for items.
- Parking – Talk to neighbours who aren’t having a sale…. Can you borrow their driveway so your car is off the street? The streets can get very busy and emergency vehicles may need access.
- Signs – It’s a community sale, but place signs (or several) at the end of your street that advertise your address! You don’t need a day or a time… just your address and items “Kids stuff / Books / games” should do the trick
- Shopping bags – There are few grocery bags on hand these days but even those doggy waste bags would hold multiple knick knacks. Mid-sized boxes for heavier or fragile items, such as books, vases and kitchenwares.
- Be friendly, but be aware – If you’re welcoming and friendly, people will be much more likely to browse through your things. However, be sure to keep someone is always in-charge of your proceeds. Cover up or move items that you don't want removed or sold, and keep your house locked.
- Be flexible with pricing – If a shopper wants to haggle the price of a book down a dollar or two, don’t lose sleep over it. Once you’re able to enjoy a clutter free home, you won’t miss that book a bit.
- Release your attachment to your stuff –Remember – you’re letting go of these things for a reason. The last thing you want to do is have too much of an attachment to your things.
- Figure out what to do with the rest of your stuff – Once the garage sale is over, you’ll have to figure out what to do with all of the stuff that didn’t sell. If the item has real value, consigning or reselling is a good option. Although we can’t suggest one organization over another, you certainly can, in the FB event comments, if you have ideas to share on that.
2020 ** LINDEN LIGHTS
What a delight our community provided to light-seekers from far and wide. The holiday lights tradition was a safe and welcome distraction this year, from the Covid-19 realities. We thank those home-owners who continued the decorating traditions; that have steadily increased their arsenal of decorations; that rallied their street to start even more street themes. We had Nutcrackers, Polar Bears, Candy Canes, Reindeers, Snowmen, Santas, & Penquins.... all making an appearance. What fun we will have at the end of 2021 after seeing a couple more streets getting into the fray! The competition is heating up!
This year, the judges headed out in their own 'bubbles' instead of the shared transportation of previous years - and then, using the rubric, came to a consensus on our first two awards. We also launched a third *People's Choice* category this year, determined from voting results on our website. It seemed popular for the first year, so watch for your opportunity to vote next year.
As a result of the judging and voting....... please join LWCC in congratulating the winners:
*Best Street - Candy Cane Lane
*Best House - 125 Shorecrest Drive
*People's Choice - 178 Foxmeadow
It's a great thing to be able to share with the city and lift the spirits around the holiday season. Thanks to our community, thanks to the judges and thanks to the visitors for showing your appreciation and making it so much fun for all!
Our special events duo, Laura & Christine, were interviewed by a couple of media outlets and did a great job of reminding folks to come and take it in, but to do so in a safe & considerate fashion.

Additional Information:
The community centre availability (change area/washrooms) are dependent on health authority and manpower.
The ice surface /condition is dependent on manpower, equipment and weather.
Our ice-makers will do their best to ensure that snow is cleared, gouges are filled, flood water is applied often, etc.
Rinks may close for short durations, when winter is retreating. Once it starts to warm up, flooding is not an option, so we may close the rinks in an attempt to maintain the integrity, or lengthen the life of the ice surface.

Visit WinterPeg.Org to Access Winter Fun Near You
Welcome to the WinterPeg Project, an effort led by the Winnipeg Trails Association to help get YOU outside this winter. In response to the COVID19 pandemic, WinterPeg.org was established to allow everyone the opportunity to get out during the Winter. It functions as a map of trails for cross-country skiing, hiking, and skating and their conditions for members of the Winnipeg community to utilize when getting outside. Each city neighbourhood has their own loop, however, WinterPeg is continuously expanding and adding on through volunteer created trails to ensure you’re able to make the most of your winter season. The trails are maintained and groomed by staff, with the help of volunteers, all supported by the City of Winnipeg’s Wellness Fund.
WinterPeg is bringing ski trails to areas of the city that have never had them before! Volunteers are always needed to both maintain the trails and to help build snow sculptures at our trailheads, an activity for all ages. Visit our website WinterPeg.org for information on all trail locations, conditions, and grooming, or to sign up to volunteer. We hope to see you out there!
Did you know? (From Winterpeg.org website) Lots of organizations in Winnipeg maintain ski trails. For information on big established ski trails both inside and outside Winnipeg, visit the CCSAM website where an active community of skiers provide regular updates. CCSAM is also responsible for the Winsdor Park Nordic centre with top notch conditions and night skiing that is well worth the fee. If you enjoy the trails at Wildwood, be sure to read up on how they get made and support their work. Assiniboine Park Conservancy operates the trails in Assiniboine park and they are groomed by Nordic X adventures. Learn more about their Jackrabbits program for kids. Programming has been affected by COVID 19 restrictions, but go here for the latest updates. Riverview CC runs a Jackrabbits program and maintains nearby ski trails. Bourkevale CC sets a fantastic track on the Assiniboine. Many of Winnipeg’s school divisions also organize small groomed loops which will be added to this map as they become available. The Forks often sets track along the River Trail, with plenty available this year. Of course, Winnipeg Trails has added more than 30 new trails with the help of the City of Winnipeg so that all of Winnipeg can try skiing!
Welcome to the WinterPeg Project, an effort led by the Winnipeg Trails Association to help get YOU outside this winter. In response to the COVID19 pandemic, WinterPeg.org was established to allow everyone the opportunity to get out during the Winter. It functions as a map of trails for cross-country skiing, hiking, and skating and their conditions for members of the Winnipeg community to utilize when getting outside. Each city neighbourhood has their own loop, however, WinterPeg is continuously expanding and adding on through volunteer created trails to ensure you’re able to make the most of your winter season. The trails are maintained and groomed by staff, with the help of volunteers, all supported by the City of Winnipeg’s Wellness Fund.
WinterPeg is bringing ski trails to areas of the city that have never had them before! Volunteers are always needed to both maintain the trails and to help build snow sculptures at our trailheads, an activity for all ages. Visit our website WinterPeg.org for information on all trail locations, conditions, and grooming, or to sign up to volunteer. We hope to see you out there!
