Holiday gift ideas from the City of Winnipeg
November 23, 2018
If you are searching for the perfect gift this holiday season, the City of Winnipeg has a few options to help make your shopping a little easier.
You can now give the gift of recreation. The Community Services department has launched a gift card that can be used for a wide range of things including activities in the Leisure Guide, facility admission or memberships, equipment rentals and rental permits.
Community Services gift cards can be used for a variety of options and activities
The gift cards can be loaded with any denomination between $5 and $500 and can be bought in person at select indoor pools and leisure centres. You can also pick one up at the main floor of 395 Main St. during the week from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.
Golf Services is offering gift cards this holiday season.
Even though the greens are now covered in snow, you can still give someone a round of golf as a present. Golf Services is selling gift cards online and in person at 10 Fort St. on the 4th floor that can be used towards green fees, rentals and merchandise.
The cards can be redeemed at any of the City’s three golf courses including Crescent Drive, Kildonan Park and Windsor Park.
If you want to give someone a gift they will use all year long, there are two different fundraising calendars you can pick up.
The Winnipeg Police Service’s 2019 Canine Unit calendar is now for sale and features the members of the WPS K9 Unit.
