The Red Gym at MBCI has been a cornerstone of our school community for generations. Within its walls, countless stories of teamwork, resilience, and achievement have unfolded.
When the Red Gym was completed in 1959, it was one of the largest and best facilities in Winnipeg. Much of the facility remains as it was initially constructed, having seen thousands of students and community groups passing through its doors and playing within its walls.
The project is a comprehensive renovation and redesign of the current gym footprint, undertaken to preserve the facility’s integrity and update its infrastructure. Set to begin in April 2026, these upgrades include a new bio-cushion gym floor, barrier-free entrance, improved seating, a renovated Hawks team room and modernized changerooms, and updated fitness centre, office, and storage spaces. These changes will provide a safer, more accessible, and more inspiring environment for both student and community use.
This project is bold. So is our goal: to raise beyond $4 million to bring this vision to life.
Would you consider partnering with us by making a donation to the Red Gym Refresh Project? Every gift brings us closer to a renewed space that will continue shaping students for lives of purpose and faith.
Just as the MBCI Board and leadership of the past once did—when they envisioned and brought to life Jubilee Place, the Red Gym, and other critical MBCI spaces—we, too, are committed. Committed to a flourishing MBCI. With a clear vision and unwavering dedication to our mission: providing a Christ-centered education that nurtures learning and growth, deepens faith in Jesus, and builds leadership and community.
Join us in seeing a part of this commitment come to life through a gift to The Red Gym Refresh Project, today. Together, we are building more than a gym – we are building a legacy.
