The Centennial Community Improvement Association (CCIA) is a non-profit organization of people from the Centennial community. We are dedicated to creating a safe, healthy and vibrant community for everyone who visits, lives in or works in the area. We are an inclusive association, desiring all people to participate in the renewal of the neighbourhood. We take pride in our accomplishments and are proud to say we are a resident driven organization.
The Centennial residential boundaries are: Logan Avenue, Sherbrook Street, William Avenue, and Princess Street. Also included will be the North Logan Community with the boundaries of Isabel Street to Princess Street and Logan Avenue to Higgins Avenue. This is due to the fact that it is a small community without adequate representation. This community will be considered as part of the Centennial Community for as long as the North Logan residents choose to be.
The CCIA responds to the concerns for the benefit of the Centennial community. Concerns may be related to but not necessarily limited to: people in need (e.g., of information, children, and elderly); people living in the area (e.g., renters, homeowners, in care); people working in the area (e.g., business, schools, government and organizations); the environment (e.g., animals, trees, parks, buildings, empty lots, sanitation).
Since 2003 the CCIA has been accomplishing our goals of providing safety, health and vibrancy within our community. Many achievements of the CCIA include, but are not limited to: Establishment of a ten member board that oversees volunteers, partners and activities of the CCIA. The CCIA has been incorporated since 2003 and the Constitution and By-Laws were approved in 2004. Board meetings are held monthly.
The CCIA established the Centennial Housing Plan (2005-2009) with the support of Neighbourhoods Alive!, the City of Winnipeg, CEDA, Ma Mawi Wi Chi Itata Centre, housing groups, organizations and residents. The CCIA continues to participate with housing partners in order to identify issues and seek solutions by providing community direction for activities such as Exterior Fix-up Grants and new-infill development. The CCIA also recognizes that the Centennial neighborhood is considerably out of balance in comparison to other areas in terms of housing stock and the types of development, and to that end strives to initiate and support projects that provide mixed use opportunities, as well as new home ownership opportunities, and generally supports development initiatives that contribute to increased densification of the area.
The Centennial neighbourhood is designated as a Housing Improvement Zone by the City of Winnipeg and the boundaries are; Logan Avenue, Sherbrook Street, William Avenue, and Princess Street. The area occupies an important position in Winnipeg's downtown, as it is adjacent to the Exchange District, Chinatown, Red River College's Princess Street Campus, and City Hall. Centennial is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in the city, settled around the completion of the Canadian Pacific Railway Yards in 1885, followed by the Midland Railway spur track in 1903.
More recently, a significant investment was made under the Centennial Project. This initiative was supported by the Winnipeg Foundation, and intended to revitalize the neighbourhood through housing and other initiatives aimed at improving social dynamics and reduction of poverty.
