Five Winnipeg-area municipalities are protesting what their leaders describe as a "forced involvement" in a regional planning process they say will increase the cost and complexity of their governments and deprive them of their ability to make their own land-use decisions.
The City of Selkirk, the Town of Niverville and the rural municipalities of St. Andrews, East St. Paul and Headingley are all expressing various degrees of opposition to Plan 20-50, a regional planning framework for Winnipeg and 17 surrounding municipalities.
The plan, ordered up by Brian Pallister's former PC government, was developed by a provincially appointed body called the Winnipeg Metropolitan Region and is in the midst of a public hearing process.
Five of the municipalities that would be subject to the plan are either requesting changes or wish to be excluded from it altogether.
Selkirk chief administrative officer Duane Nicol, who has expressed opposition to the regional planning process since the Pallister government initially proposed it in 2019, said the province has effectively created a new level of municipal government with the power to force municipalities to amend their own land-use frameworks to conform to the regional framework.
