Winnipeg councillor urges shared funding for school playgrounds after safety concerns and closures.
Winnipeg councillor Brian Mayes is calling for systemic changes to fund school playgrounds, urging the province, municipalities, and school divisions to share costs.
In a report released January 28, 2026, he recommends allocating one percent of new school construction budgets for play structures and $50,000 annually per school division for new and repaired playgrounds.
Mayes highlights that current reliance on parent fundraising is unsustainable, citing safety concerns and inequities, especially after a school playground closure in October 2025.
Education Minister Tracy Schmidt has reviewed the report, which may influence future funding decisions.
