Residents of Stonewall, Manitoba, now have a chance to weigh in on temporary changes made to Main Street as part of a revitalization pilot project. The town posted a notice on May 29, 2026, inviting community feedback through a dedicated survey.
The survey asks residents to share their thoughts, ideas, and suggestions for making Main Street a more vibrant place. While details of the specific pilot changes are limited, the initiative continues Stonewall’s ongoing effort to refresh its downtown core.
The town has been actively working on Main Street revitalization for several years. It runs the CRISP program, which offers grants to help existing businesses improve storefronts, support new niche shops, and encourage major expansions that create jobs. A 2024 study by the University of Manitoba provided 21 recommendations for Main Street, covering transportation, public amenities, and mixed-use zoning.
Stonewall’s recent growth includes major developments like the Quarry District project, which will bring commercial space, a new grocery store, and hundreds of housing units. The current pilot project and survey are part of the town’s broader push, guided by its Strategic Plan, to balance growth while keeping Main Street a welcoming heart of the community.
Residents interested in participating can find the survey through the Town of Stonewall website or local notices. The town encourages everyone to take a moment to provide input that will help shape the future of Main Street.
