Message from the President
It has been a fantastic year (2017-2018) for the Henteleff Park Foundation. Besides the completion of the remarkable Henteleff Park Interpretive site, we have had an excellent year in other areas as well.
Henteleff Park Foundation is very happy to announce that it received a generous donation from the TD Bank Friends of the Environment Foundation. This money will be used for tree purchases, equipment purchases and wage supplements for the summer students.
Speaking of which, HPF received funds again this year from Canada Summer Jobs (Service Canada) to hire 4 students for 9 weeks to work at the park. The students will plant trees, work on the trails and pull weeds, among many other very important summer tasks. Thank you to our friend, MP Terry Duguid and his staff for their assistance.
Henteleff Park Foundation extends its deepest thanks to TD Bank Friends of the Environment Foundation and Service Canada for their support of Henteleff Park. — Saul Henteleff
Annual General Meeting 2018
Henteleff Park Foundation will have its Annual General Meeting on June 9, 2018 immediately following the spring tree planting (noon). All are welcome!!
Group Tours & Community Outreach
Since the Interpretive Centre’s opening in August 2016, Yude Henteleff, President Emeritus of the HPF Board has hosted and led several group tours of the HPF Interpretive Centre and the Park as a whole. The latest tour was with the St. Vital Library Association.
Yude also recently spent time with the Scandinavian Cultural Centre as part of their T.G.I.F Dinner and Speaker series. With close to 100 people in attendance, Yude was invited to share stories and the history of HPF.
If any group wishes to hear more from Yude or book a guided tour of the Interpretive Centre and Park, please email him directly at y.henteleff@gmail.comto arrange a convenient time.
Donations Needed
We appreciate all the financial and other assistance provided to HPF by all three levels of Government. But that falls considerably short of what HPF requires to maintain and improve Henteleff Park as set out in its mandate and we need your financial support to do so. That mandate is to maintain and improve itself as a passive park – a place of beauty, quietude and reflection. HPF is a non-profit registered Charity with the Canada Revenue agency and all donors will be provided with a tax-deductible receipt for their donation.
Please make your cheques payable to “Henteleff Park Foundation”

Interpretive Centre Opens
On a beautiful Saturday afternoon at the end of August, over 150 people gathered at Henteleff Park for the official opening of the new Interpretive Centre.
Located at the park’s entrance at 1964 St. Mary’s Road and near the original homestead of the Henteleff family, the Interpretive Centre features a Shelter Building that displays panels of information that leads to a new circular pathway with additional information panels, all-weather notebooks, new bench seating and landscaping.
“We were overwhelmed by the support we received and the turnout at our event,” said Yude Henteleff, President Emeritus, Henteleff Park Foundation. “It was an honour to share our family story and the contributions of other Jewish farm families in the province as well as pay tribute to the Metis families who played a large role in the settling and developing of the land.”
“This park means so much to so many and we thank all the volunteers, board members, donors and supporters who have worked hard to make the Interpretive Centre a reality and who continue to assist us to ensure the park remains a place of beauty and tranquility for all to share.”

Friends and Neighbours Share Their Stories
“Saw the article on the CBC website on the grand opening of the park. Just wanted to drop you a note thanking your team for this beautiful gift to the area. We walk the paths daily, even in winter, and feel so privileged that we have this life giving and life-centering oasis so close by. It contributes greatly to the physical and mental health of all who use it. Thanks for all your hard work through the years in making this park a reality for us and future generations.”
Lionel and Jane Martens
“On January 6, 2016 my husband Andy passed away from a massive heart attack. One of his many favourite places was Henteleff Park. He discovered it many years ago while out for his morning walk and he always felt he had stumbled upon an unknown treasure not many knew about. When he would take me out for dinner he would bring me there for a walk together and he would share it with me. He was an avid outdoorsman.”
Anna Mittelstadt
With her consent, we acknowledge a very special gift by Anna Mittelstadt to the Henteleff Park Foundation.
In his memory and his love for the park, Anna has donated sufficient funds to pay for a bench, its installation and a memorial plaque. It is now installed on the pathway leading from the shelter building.
Our heartfelt thanks to Anna for this most moving gift.

Thanks to Guent Salzmann and the Manitoba Bluebird Fund (MBF) for making it all possible and we look forward to our continued association with MBF. A special thanks is also extended to Karl Thordorson and his City of Winnipeg crew for the coordination and execution of the installation project.

Henteleff Park Interpretative Centre Opening
September 19, 2016 by Admin
For human rights lawyer and environmentalist Yude Henteleff, the official opening and dedication of the Henteleff Park Interpretive Centre on August 27, 2016 exceeded, as he said to me, “our greatest expectations.”
He was speaking of the hard work involved by members of the board of the Henteleff Park Foundation and all the volunteers who had helped make the day such a success.
Over 150 people, including official representatives from the three levels of government, First Nations and Metis People, and others, attended the event on a pleasant, breezy afternoon … Continue Reading

Grand Opening, Saturday, August 27th, 1PM – ALL INVITED!
August 26, 2016 by Admin
Henteleff Park Foundation continues to pay tribute to the area’s rich history with the official opening of the park’s new Interpretive Centre on Saturday, August 27 at 1:00 pm.
In keeping with the Foundation’s overall objective of its park being a place of both serenity and learning, the Interpretive Centre will focus on four themes. It will showcase the unique natural landscape, plant and bird life that inhabit the park; pay tribute to the major role that Métis families played in settling and developing the community; highlight the history of market gardening in the area, and share the Henteleff family story and the contributions they made along with other Jewish farm families in Manitoba in the development of the community.
“There are so many interesting stories that need to be shared,” says Yude Henteleff, President Emeritus, Henteleff Park Foundation. “They are important to the fabric of our community and can’t afford to be lost. As custodians of this information, it is up to us to preserve history for our children and future generations.”
Located at the park’s entrance at 1964 St. Mary’s Road and near the original homestead of the Henteleff family, the Interpretive Centre will feature a Shelter Building that will display panels of information that will lead to a new circular pathway with additional information panels, all-weather notebooks, new bench seating and landscaping.
Since the Henteleff Park Foundation was established in 2002, a city-wide network of dedicated volunteers have worked tirelessly to make the Henteleff Park dream happen. Volunteers over the last 10 years have planted over 5000 trees and shrubs, have established 3 km of trails, have raised funds to rehabilitate Normand Creek so it is now an excellent spawning creek, and have sustained the efforts of the Henteleff Park Foundation to ensure the park is a place of beauty.
The official ceremony and dedication of the Interpretive Centre will acknowledge the significant financial assistance provided by donors from across Canada, the City of Winnipeg, Province of Manitoba, Winnipeg Foundation and Jewish Foundation of Manitoba as well as the volunteers from across Winnipeg who collectively have helped the dream become a reality.
Under normal circumstances, Henteleff Park is busiest in the summer. This summer Henteleff Park has been outrageously busy. In addition to the construction of the Interpretive Centre, the Park had four summer employees who were hired under the Federal Government’s Canada Summer Jobs program which is part of Terry Duguid’s (Lib, Winnipeg South) portfolio. Under the expert supervision of Marilyn Latta, the four employees – Megan Ferely, Daniel Nemez, Audrey Chojko-Bolec and Joseph Fofana – watered trees, hacked thistle, cut grass, pulled burdock, chopped spurge and spread wood chips on the trails among a myriad of other responsibilities. The result of their labours has been fantastic. The park, though always beautiful, has never looked better. To this end, credit must also be extended to the City of Winnipeg’s Parks East department under the management of Karl Thordarson for the regular grass cutting and its support in the care of Henteleff Park.
As it is already August and the summer days are drawing to a close we look forward to the beautiful fall colours of the many variety of trees and shrubs of the park and we welcome all to enjoy Henteleff Park.
Best regards,
Saul Henteleff, Chair, Henteleff Park Foundation
It’s very special to have ones dream realized. The opening of the Interpretive Centre at Henteleff Park is that realization for me. It has taken the volunteer efforts of so many to accomplish our objective and our heartfelt thanks to all. Sharing all the history and accompanying stories with generations yet to come was our objective and it will be a continuing one for those that carry on the work of the Henteleff Foundation at Henteleff Park. It was for all of us on the HPF Board, a privilege and pleasure, as I have no doubt it will be for our successors.
Yude Henteleff
President Emeritus, Henteleff Park Foundation
As the MLA for Riel, I am deeply honoured to have this new Henteleff Park Interpretive Centre in my constituency. I want to thank Yude Henteleff and his entire team for their tireless efforts in creating this new Interpretive Centre, and also for all the work they’ve done in developing a forested sanctuary right here in the heart of Riel.
I look forward to attending the grand opening of the new Interpretive Centre and hope to see many friends and neighbours on the trails throughout the season. Best wishes and congratulations on making this dream become a reality.
The Honourable Rochelle Squires
Minister of Sport, Culture & Heritage, MLA Riel
Congratulations to the Henteleff Park Foundation on the culmination of their incredible vision, which I have been pleased to support for many years. Winnipeg is very fortunate to have this network of dedicated volunteers who have worked tirelessly to make the Henteleff Park dream and Interpretive Centre a reality. Their journey and legacy will benefit future generations who will continue to enjoy this ecological gem for years to come.
Councillor Janice Lukes, South Winnipeg-St. Norbert Ward

Infinite Shades of Green – Reprinted From The Lance
August 17, 2016 by Admin

The much-anticipated Interpretive Centre in Henteleff Park will mark its official opening with a public ceremony on Aug. 27 at 1 p.m. Everyone is invited.
For years, Yude Henteleff and the Henteleff Park Foundation have been working hard to create the centre, which is located near the park’s roadway entrance at 1964 St. Mary’s Rd. near the Henteleff family’s original homestead. The park is located along the banks of the Red River and Normand Creek in south St. Vital.
“When you’re in the park, you notice sometimes that you just see infinite shades of green,” Henteleff said.
According to Henteleff, the park is a place where natural beauty and rich historical traditions thrive in perfect harmony, as it preserves the rural character of a landscape that was significant to Manitoba’s early Métis culture, Winnipeg’s market garden industry and the Henteleff family.
The new centre will include a shelter building that will display panels of information that will lead to a new circular pathway with additional information panels, all-weather notebooks, new bench seating and landscaping.
“Historically, we’ve included elements that future generations should become aware of, understand and appreciate what the pioneers accomplished,” Henteleff, 89, said, noting the riparian forest in the area has unique characteristics pertaining to flora, fauna and birds.
“Also, of great importance is the history of the First Nations people, particularly the Métis people, as their roots here are very powerful, strong and important,” he added.
“We must also acknowledge all the back-breaking labour by the pioneers that came here from every part of Europe and elsewhere from places like Ukraine, Belgium, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Ireland. It was literally the United Nations. As well, the history of Jewish farmers in Manitoba has never been fully explained and the extent of their arrival in Manitoba was just enormous, especially in the Interlake. This is important because the general population doesn’t necessarily think of Jewish people as workers of the land, but coming to Canada and having the opportunity to own land was the most extraordinary happening for them.”
Henteleff’s roots St. Vital run significantly deep, as his grandfather and father homesteaded in what is now Henteleff Park in 1920-21 and became one of the larger market gardeners in this part of the city.
In 1924, the Henteleff family bought 40 acres of riverfront land and launched a thriving market garden operation in St. Vital. Nathan and Rose Henteleff and their family was among the first Jewish market gardeners in Western Canada. The family initially sold its produce from a roadside stand on St. Mary’s Road and later at the farmers’ market on Main Street and in small grocery stores in the city. Nathan and Rose lived and worked on the land until their retirement in 1967. The land was expropriated by the City in 2002 and designated as a public park in the family’s name.
He attended St. Germain School (now the site of a Shell station at 2146 St. Mary’s Rd.), which had all six grades in one classroom and most of the students were Métis: “Typically, for a country school, there was a wood stove, a water pump and an outdoor toilet. At the time, St. Vital was a separate municipality, so we lived very much a country life and cut ice on the Red River to store for the summer. The river was important for irrigation of crops and also a constant source of fun.”
Henteleff’s family emigrated from Chernigov in northern Ukraine in the early 1900s as they feared for their lives in their native land.
“Jews were just being murdered at the will of the larger population and my grandfather, Abraham Henteleff, decided if we didn’t leave, we would all be slaughtered, so the whole family emigrated to Canada to take up farming,” he said.
The Henteleff Park Foundation was formed in 2002 as a charitable organization and it consists of a dedicated city-wide network of volunteers who have worked tirelessly at the park. In the last 10 years, volunteers have planted more than 5,000 trees and shrubs, established trails measuring more than three kilometres, and raised funds to rehabilitate Normand Creek so it is now a successful spawning creek.
The foundation has been raising funds for the centre, in some shape or form, since it was established, which includes donations from private citizens stretching the length and breadth of the nation. Henteleff also acknowledges the assistance of the City of Winnipeg, Province of Manitoba, the Winnipeg Foundation and the Jewish Foundation of Manitoba, as well as the numerous volunteers along the way that have helped make the dream a reality.
“This a unique example of what volunteers can do working with different levels of government,” Henteleff said, noting there is a maintenance fund so “this part of the park will be looked after forever.”
In terms of the centre viewed as his own personal legacy, Henteleff said he has mixed feelings.
“I’m filled with two emotions. On one level, I’m very sad that my parents will not be here to bask in something that was important to them — their love of the land. Coming from a country that killed people just because they are Jewish to a place where there is justice and equality for all made so much difference to our lives and our destiny. But at the end of the day, it brings me great joy to see this finally happening,” he said.
“On another level, it’s wonderful that my four children and four great-grandchildren have been involved in the process. My son, Saul, is the president of the foundation’s board of directors and it’s wonderful to see succeeding generations taking over and carrying on. We want to make sure this will be here and available far into the future for people to learn about the past experiences of the pioneers. With every great achievement, there is always so much pleasure, but also a little sadness.”

What We Are Up To …
The Henteleff Park Board of Directors has been very busy over the past year working through many of its responsibilities. The top of the list has been the planning and development of the Henteleff Park Interpretive Site.
This year will be the culmination of many years of work in which the Henteleff Park Board has, with the architectural firm HTFC Planning and Design, put together an architecturally designed project that will recognize and celebrate the beauty, history and geography of Henteleff Park.
Included in the Interpretive Site will be information about the Metis people of Red River, Jewish farmers of Manitoba, the geography along the Red River and the resplendent beauty of our river bottom forests.
The Board of Henteleff Park is very excited about the opening of the Henteleff Park Interpretive Centre and we invite the entire community to join us in this wonderful and important event on Saturday August 27th at 1:00PM.
