Dear Winnipeg

A Fun Blog About Infrastructure and Municipal Finance
About Elmwood Guy

I live in Elmwood. I am a guy. Apart from those two things, other tidbits about me that you may find interesting are:

  • My real name is Michel Durand-Wood.
  • I am happily married to WinnipegOMyHeart.
  • I am the father of 3 young children.
  • I love my neighbourhood of Glenelm.
  • I have no formal training or education in city planning, municipal finance, infrastructure maintenance, or anything else I talk about here. I am just a guy, in love with a city, asking it to make better use of my tax dollars.
  • Still, I have been invited to speak throughout North America.
  • And I have a (fun) new book on municipal finance coming out on May 20th, 2025. It’s available for pre-order now at IndieBookstores.ca, McNally Robinson Booksellers, Chapters Indigo, Amazon, or wherever you buy books. You can also reserve it from the Winnipeg Public Library.
