Month: April 2024

Whether it’s in a park, a back lane or a business, art makes our city better! Our 2022 “Art in the Neighbourhood” walking tour was so much fun that we are back to discover a whole new set of beautiful public art pieces.

Join us on Sunday, May 5th at 2pm at 243 Henderson (corner of Johnson and Henderson).

Come along as we visit a variety of works in Glenelm/Elmwood and find out where the next big mural will be going up this summer!

The walk will last about an hour and a half and is part of the 2024 Winnipeg Jane’s Walks.

Glenelm School is currently accepting registrations for the 2024-2025 Nursery School Program for children born in 2020.

The nursery school program is free for verified residents of the Winnipeg School Division Catchment.

Please contact the school office for more information.

On Sunday, April 28th, GeNA will be hosting our 8th annual Glenelm Spring Cleanup.

As we do every year, we’ll be picking up litter that has accumulated in our back lanes, front boulevards and parks over the winter. Henderson is looking pretty rough this year too, so we’ll plan to dispatch some teams there as well.

If you’d like to come out and help make Glenelm a little cleaner and tidier, meet us at the Big Red Church (127 Cobourg Ave) at 1pm, Sunday, April 28th.

We’ll provide bags, gloves, pickers, and some light snacks – just bring your energy! We’ll also go over some safety instructions before heading out.

It’s not a glamourous job, but it makes a big difference in our neighbourhood, and is a great way to connect and hang out with your neighbours. We hope to see lots of new faces out there!

In the event of rain or poor weather, we’ll send any changes via the GeNA website and email newsletter.

We are so excited about the huge roster of upcoming events this spring and summer – brought to you by GeNA and our neighbourhood partners and friends! Watch your mailbox for a handy flyer version you can put on your fridge, and we will send out event details via email/website as they become available.
