Help the Manitoba Skateboarding Coalition create an inclusive new indoor skateboarding space in Winnipeg!

With the winter months approaching, local skateboarders are looking for an alternative space to gather as Winnipeg’s only indoor skatepark has drastically reduced program offerings and doubled down on exclusionary policies. The park is privately owned by Youth For Christ (YFC) and they have enforced rules that severely inhibit access to the space for many. Currently, the park is open 4 hours per week and only to ages 12-17. This is a problem with massive repercussions. As YFC is privately owned, there is little we can do to make them change their rules which leaves us with one option - create a new indoor skate space that is inclusive of all ages, religions, genders, and sexualities!

The goal of this petition is to gauge the public's need for a new indoor skateboarding space, so the Manitoba Skateboarding Coalition can express this need to the government and obtain government funding/assistance with this project. Every signature helps!

The Winnipeg skateboard scene is thriving, but we need an indoor space to keep this momentum going.
