“As the director, I oversee urban planning, property management and development and building initiatives in our city,” says Borys.
“It has allowed us to avoid some of the negative impact of rapid urban expansion,” she says. “We’ve managed to preserve our heritage and make Winnipeg the best city in Canada for raising a family, according to a recent report in a Canadian national newspaper.”Her enthusiasm for the city notwithstanding, Borys acknowledges that River City is not perfect.
That has led to increased transportation costs, greater reliance on cars “and a dilution of our community engagement and social capital.”“With the help of policies like OurWinnipeg 2045 and Complete Communities Direction Strategy 2.0, we are on the cusp of major zoning bylaw updates,” she says. By 2040, Winnipeg will grow by more than 160,000 people, which will add more than 83,000 new jobs and 82,000 new homes.At least 50 per cent of all new homes will be built where housing already exists. It will do this by making infill development easier to build and attractive to live in.
Borys, who is originally from Alabama, took an indirect route to her current job with the City of Winnipeg. As she got more interested in the science of happiness, “I became captivated by the potential to improve community health through thoughtful urban design.”
