Brandon clears way for affordable housing project

Connor McDowell 3 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

BRANDON — The City of Brandon and the government of Manitoba hope to alleviate homelessness with a housing complex near the Brandon hospital.

A residential building with up to 48 units is being planned for a city-owned lot at 705 Rideau St., the City of Brandon said in a news release Wednesday.

The project, described as “a significant milestone in the community’s efforts to end homelessness,” will include supports for those transitioning into housing.

Housing, Addictions and Homelessness Minister Bernadette Smith called it part of a “historic surge in affordable housing across Manitoba.”

Nine-block walk on Portage Avenue reveals difficult present, some cause for optimism

Dan Lett 5 minute read Yesterday at 3:32 PM CDT

On a recent visit back to Winnipeg, I got to witness the multitudes of Portage Avenue.

From my Airbnb on Hargrave Street, I had the opportunity to do quite a bit of walking on Portage Avenue, from Portage and Memorial all the way down to the recently opened intersection at Portage and Main.

Along the way, I saw it all: huge and dynamic construction projects, persistent urban decay and the occasional oasis of revitalization.

All in the space of nine blocks.

Clearing the deck and filling the seats

Editorial 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

The winds of change are always blowing at Winnipeg’s city hall, but with a civic election looming this fall, the gusts through the council chamber at 510 Main St. seem particularly strong.

With slightly less than three months until voters head to the polls, no less than five incumbent councillors have declared they will not stand for re-election. Combine that with the possibility that one or more other members of the 15-member body could lose their bids for re-election, and what becomes apparent is that the makeup of Winnipeg’s municipal decision-making assembly will have changed dramatically when the new council is sworn in.

The five veteran councillors who have opted not to seek another term are Sherri Rollins (Fort Rouge-East Fort Garry), Markus Chambers (St. Norbert–Seine River), John Orlikow (River Heights-Fort Garry), Janice Lukes (Waverley West) and Brian Mayes (St. Vital).

All the departing councillors are experienced representatives, with Rollins and Chambers having served two terms, Lukes having been on council for a dozen years, and Mayes and Orlikow having served 15 and 17 years respectively. Had any or all of them chosen to run again, they would almost certainly have been re-elected, as incumbency remains a most formidable force in municipal politics.

Once hailed as sign of strong bond, U.S. consulate in Winnipeg to close

Tyler Searle 6 minute read Tuesday, Aug. 4, 2026

There was much fanfare when the U.S. government re-established a permanent presence in Winnipeg in April 2001 as it unveiled its consulate and hailed it as a major achievement between two friendly nations.

“It is testimony not only to the importance the U.S. government attaches to our bilateral relationship with Canada but also to the increasing prominence of Winnipeg, Manitoba and the western region of the country in bilateral and multilateral affairs,” said U.S. Ambassador to Canada Gordon Giffin at a ceremony with then-premier Gary Doer.

Fast-forward to this week when it was learned the office at Portage and Main is set to close, meaning the U.S. will lose its primary advocate for American business and trade interests in Manitoba.

Dwight MacAulay was chief of protocol for the Manitoba government in 2001, calling it a time of celebration and strength between the countries.

It’s your call on further contact with ‘dad’

Maureen Scurfield 4 minute read 2:01 AM CDT

DEAR MISS LONELYHEARTS: My birth father has shown up in Manitoba — he got a transfer here for a job. He has never expressed any interest in me before except to send my mother pay-off money over the years.

At his insistence, I met recently with him and his wife for lunch and then we went to a mall where he wanted to buy me really expensive running shoes. I’m an adult — not a little kid.

Also, “Dad” is not a success in my eyes. Where was he when I really needed him?

Unfortunately, I look just like him — the younger version my mom says she fell for years ago. Apparently, I passed muster at the first meeting with him and he wants to have a barbecue at their house to show me around to other relatives.
