The University of Winnipeg Students' Association is pushing for the Portage Avenue campus gym to reserve hours for women, members of the LGBT community and people who identify as non-binary — neither male nor female. She said gym hours open only to women, LGBT and non-binary people is a need that has gone unmet for a long time. "I had several students approach me within the LGBT centre at the University of Winnipeg campus.… There was a demand for it. While she considers the survey a success — so far more than 218 respondents have participated, 73 per cent of them women — Pelland said reading the responses has been difficult. Pelland hopes designating two or three hours, one to three times per week to women, LGBT community members and non-binary people, will make the space feel safe again.
