Annual Membership Increase

After much consideration, the Island Lakes Residents Group (ILRG) has voted on a Membership increase from $10.00 to $20.00 effective May 26, 2012. A full 2 page flyer will be mailed shortly to all residents with full explanations as well as discounted options for multi-year memberships. It is important to note, the Membership Fee has not increased in over 10 years, and with estimated costs doubling for a project, we hope this will allow us to implement them quicker.

Membership DRAW Prize

We are thrilled to announce (and thank) Brent Martin from The Martin Team with ReMax for donating our First Membership Draw Prize. Brent has generously donated Two Hot Air Balloon Rides!!! The draw will be made during the Board's monthly meeting on Monday, June 18th at 7:30 pm in the Community Room at Island Lake School.

About Island Lakes

Island Lakes is located in South East Winnipeg, at the corner of Bishop Grandin and Lagimodiere. It provides easy access to major crosstown routes and is only a few minutes from St. Vital Centre. This development began in 1985 when Novamet Development Corp. developed the 580-acre Island Lakes subdivision, which today has about 2,500 homes.
The elementary school opened in the fall of 2001. Adjacent to the school is a 16-acre park with tennis courts, basketball hoops and baseball diamonds. The neighborhood's lakeside walkways have always been a popular feature for joggers, cyclists and strollers, and the lakes are always popular with canoeists. For lovers of nature and birdwatchers, the community has a five-acre natural grass area planted with native prairie species. Enjoy our parks with playground equipment, baseball diamonds and large green areas for fun.

Salvation Army Building in Island Lakes

The Salvation Army will be beginning construction of their new building in the fall. It will be located next to the Home Run Sports store.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New Firehall Now Open!

The new Sage Creek firehall is now open, giving Island Lakes one of the fastest emergency response times in the city.

Chenier Walkway Lights Repaired

A new replacement lamp standard with a new look has been placed at the beginning of the Chenier walkway path off of Island Shore Blvd. City of Winnipeg could no longer purchase the older style light so they opted for a newer design as the only alternative.

Warde Avenue Extension

The Warde Avenue extension from De La Seigneurie to Lagimodie is now complete and the traffic lights are in operation, finally giving residents a South exit and entry point to Island Lakes.
