It is my pleasure to welcome you to the City of Winnipeg. I encourage everyone, whether you live, work, play or invest here, to immerse yourself in the hospitable nature of our inviting and dynamic City of Opportunity.

2008 promises tremendous opportunity to take a harder look at the real issues impacting the quality of life for our citizens. The City of Winnipeg faces several challenges, the most significant being how by working together we will tackle crime and address an impending infrastructure deficit.

My focus as Mayor has been to ensure that the safety and well-being of our citizens remains a priority at City Hall. As Mayor, I will continue to advance public safety and deliver innovative solutions to address infrastructure concerns.

I look forward to working together with my colleagues on City Council, our Public Service, and the citizens of Winnipeg to face these challenges head-on to create and deliver real solutions and continue building on our momentum.

Katz Welcomes Calls for City Welcome Signs  Committed to improving our City's highway welcome signage, Mayor Sam Katz tabled a motion last week to replace the existing antiquated signage.  The Mayor's Office has received an overwhelming response to the initiative with many positive suggestions. All Winnipeggers will have a choice in which message will adorn the updated signage to be installed this summer. The 5 selections are: 1.      Heart of the Country 2.      City of Opportunity 3.      Centre of it All 4.      Heart of the Continent 5.      (We don't want a slogan, just a new sign!) more
