Snowshoe Sharing Program

January 8, 2025

Four pairs of snowshoes hanging on a wall.

This winter, borrow a pair of Campus Well-Being’s snowshoes to explore some Winnipeg’s trails and Manitoba parks.

Similar to our summer bike share program, pop by the NDC North Gym customer service desk during regular gym hours to request a pair and fill out the waiver.

For the snowshoes, you may borrow for short-term bookings i.e. overnight or over a weekend (4 days maximum).

Like our bikes, the snowshoes also have some fun animal-themed names, this time in Ojibway and provided by Elder Paul.

  • Wabshki-Mukwa (Polar Bear) (Large, People 5’8” to 6’0” and up )
  • Miiegun (Wolf)  (Large, People 5’8” to 6’0” and up )
  • Pisew (Lynx) (Small, People 5’0” to 5’7”)
  • Waboose (Rabbit) (Small, People 5’0” to 5’7”)

Each user receiving a pair of snowshoes will be responsible for:

  • Keeping them secure in the provided carrying case
  • Trekking safely and lawfully
  • Returning them in a timely manner
  • Enjoying Manitoba’s beautiful outdoor spaces in winter
