Summer may have been slow to arrive, but that doesn't mean it's time to speed on Winnipeg's waterways.

Did you know there are posted speed limits on the Red and Assiniboine Rivers?
• Red River: 70 km/h (day) | 50 km/h (night)
• Assiniboine River: 37 km/h (day) | 10 km/h (night)
• Boat launches, marinas and public docks: 9 km/h at all times

Speed limits are in place to help keep everyone safe on the water. Whether you're cruising, fishing, paddling, or enjoying a day with family and friends, stay alert and be aware of your surroundings.

Navigating a vessel on a river is far different than operating one on a wide-open lake. Currents, floating debris, submerged hazards, shallow areas and changing conditions can appear quickly and leave little time to react.

Watch for markers, know the posted speed limits, and adjust your speed to conditions. A little caution goes a long way toward keeping Winnipeg's waterways safe and enjoyable for everyone.

June is National Indigenous History Month!

Across Winnipeg, communities will gather to celebrate culture, share stories, and honour history.

This month, our teams will be out in the community listening, learning, and connecting. Stay tuned this month to see where and how we are taking part in festivities!

Over time, our Service has been working alongside Indigenous communities to build stronger relationships and better understand one another. This includes taking steps toward weaving Indigenous history and perspectives into our organization.

We’re proud of how far we’ve come, although we know there is more work to be done. We recognize that building relationships rooted in trust and respect requires ongoing commitment. We remain focused on meaningful progress grounded in recognition, accountability, and continued learning.
