The Charleswood Rotary club has been stewards of the Assiniboine Forest for over 30 years. Together with the City of Winnipeg Naturalists’ office, we carry out annual maintenance and upgrading to Assiniboine Forest.

The forest is a unique jewel in the suburban Winnipeg landscape that is cherished by its visitors, and community. Comprised of over 700 acres of primarily undisturbed wilderness, Assiniboine Forest is one of the largest urban nature parks of its kind in Canada. 

Only through careful management can the future preservation of the Assiniboine Forest be reasonably assured. The Charleswood Rotary Club enhancement initiative will initially focus on general trail maintenance, a cross-country ski trail, improvement to signage, the addition of a new trail in the eastern section of the forest, parking alternatives to Chalfont and Grant and enhancing accessibility to the Sagimay Trail.

Longer term projects will be considered. The Charleswood Rotary Club as Stewards of the forest will continue to work to secure the forest’s future. To donate, click here. For additional information visit https://assiniboineforest.ca   

We are all seeing the current devastation in Ukraine and the current refugee crisis. The need is continuing to grow and many Canadians and people around the world are considering ways they can help. The Rotary Club of Winnipeg - Charleswood is working to bring Ukrainian children safely to Canada through the Bridge of Hope Ukraine – Family Support Project. All funds raised will be used to help Ukrainian families. More information is available and financial donations can be made by clicking this Link: Bridge of Hope Ukraine. Thank you for your generous support including donations of furniture and household items for those who have arrived in Winnipeg!

The Rotary Club of Winnipeg Charleswood is pleased that the new Assiniboine Forest sign has been installed at the corner of Grant and Chalfont. The installation is an important part of the plan for enhancements at the main entrance to the Forest, which will see additional signage (history, trail map), an interpretation area and plantings. The new sign profiles the colouring used to identify the trails in the Forest.
