The “Norwich Plan”, which has been successful in some Canadian locations, for example, Niagara Falls, Victoria and Oakville, is a cooperative venture of local businessmen, local community organizations, and local government agencies to improve the appearance of a given street or streets in a community. The essence of the Plan is that it can be adapted to any locality as it is a proposal for improving the general appearance of a particular area in a city, without major alteration or expense, yet providing a distinctive atmosphere to the area. The success of the idea depends on the cooperation of the majority of the business people and local government in the area. Where such a plan has been implemented, the area concerned has experienced an improvement in business, become a tourist attraction, and has reawakened a spirit of community pride. The suggestion is made that the use of the Norwich concept by local businessmen and the Municipality may be suitable as a means of improving the appearance of the commercial areas.So why would Fort Garry businesses not want to create a BIZ group which can help in beautifying the area, creating a community identity, in the absence of a real autonomous city for that area?
There area already successful BIZ groups in metro Winipeg, that have created this community feel along commercial streets, namely the Old St. Vital BIZ, the St. James Village BIZ, the Transcona BIZ, and the Norwood Grove BIZ.
I don't own a business in Winnipeg. I'm just here to create awareness. Awareness of the need for a proper mass transit system here. Awareness of geoengineering/chemtrails going on, etc...
So it's up to the local businesses of the Beaumont, Wildwood, and McGillivray Local Planning Areas to come together and create the Fort Garry Business Improvement Zone.
