Interpretive Center Area Update …

All is in place to start construction of the Interpretive Center Area (ICA) in the spring of 2016. The expected completion date is July 2016. The ICA will be located at the front of the Park between the parking lot and St. Mary’s Rd.

The design of the ICA by our Architect, and complemented by our graphic design and content consultants, beautifully enables the rich history of the Park to be explored. Upon completion, this project will tie in well with the overall objective of the Park, being a place of both serenity and learning. The content to be shared will be on 4 panels located on the Shelter Building walls, and on 5 panels and 2 all-weather note books located on four sites placed on a circular pathway leading from the site towards St. Mary’s Rd and circling back to the Shelter Building.

Getting to this point has required enormous effort by the volunteers comprising the Henteleff Park Foundation. More effort will be required to bring it to completion and to maintain it. Your help as a volunteer is critical to our being able to do so.

HPF Foundation is a registered charity and all donations to this project are most welcomed and will be recognized. Be part of this extraordinary project!

Henteleff Park Summer 2015 Update

By Admin
Sunday, June 28th, 2015

Recent park visitors will have noticed that the City has completed the first of its two annual mowings in the park. Mowing is one way to help combat the proliferation of Canada thistle and other invasive species. But don’t worry, there are still plenty of plants and flowers left for wildlife to make use of.

Our Green Team, comprised of Megan Ferley and Avery Sharpe, has also been mowing using a regular lawn mower and a whipper – a daunting job in a 40 acre park! They are focusing on keeping some of the more recent tree planting areas mowed as well as the area around the park entrance and the prairie restoration. They have also been removing old burdock plants, working of the trails, and planting small trees and shrubs that we have been growing in the nursery in the park for the last two years. Please take a moment to stop and say hello to them the next time you are in the park and let them know how much you appreciate their efforts.

As we only have two staff this year, and there is always more work than they can do, we are looking for volunteers to help maintain the prairie restoration and the wildflower gardens. If you are interested in helping, please contact Marilyn at mjlatta@mymts.net or 204-253-9245. She will be coordinating a work party one morning a week from 8-10 am for people willing to help out in this area. People can come whenever they want during that time. Part of the activities will include a walk through the prairie to see what is blooming that day and some relevant plant trivia. This is a great opportunity to help keep the prairie healthy as well as learn more about native plants. We hope to see you out there!

GREAT NEWS! The Henteleff Park Interpretive Area is Becoming a Reality!

The Henteleff Park Interpretive Area to be constructed at Henteleff Park between the parking lot and St.Mary`s Rd. is becoming a reality.

A Request for a Project Proposal was made to Architectural and Design firms in Manitoba. After considering the many excellent proposals our Jury selected HTFC Planning and Design of Winnipeg as designers and managers of the Project, with Glen Manning as its partner in Charge.

The content area will, through a variety of means interpret and tell the stories of 4 themes:

• The park’s natural roots,
• Metis roots,
• Market garden roots,
• and Henteleff family roots as well as other Jewish farmers in Manitoba.

This wonderful project, which will provide to all a unique look at largely untold and important aspects of our history, is a work in progress. In addition to interpretive elements, the project will provide accessible site infrastructure as well as a visitor amenity such as a shelter.

Wendy Molnar of Cultural Visions Consulting is in charge of interpretive content development .
The draft site development plan has been submitted by HTFC to the City of Winnipeg for its consideration. We hope to commence construction beginning of April 2015 and to have a grand opening the beginning of August 2015. More updates will follow from time to time and posted on our website at Henteleffpark.org.

HPF Foundation is a registered charity and all donations to this project are most welcomed and will be recognized. Be part of this extraordinary project!
