Province picks CancerCare facility construction manager

Free Press staff 1 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

PCL Constructors Canada will oversee the construction management of CancerCare Manitoba’s new facility.

The provincial government awarded its contract to PCL following a competitive procurement process, a Thursday news release says.

It points to similar projects PCL has undertaken, including the Arthur J.E. Child Comprehensive Cancer Centre in Calgary and Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre in Melbourne, Australia.

In Manitoba, the new Winnipeg facility’s pre-construction phase — including design development and risk management — has launched. Leadership will work with clinicians, patients and other stakeholders throughout 2026, the news release says.

IG Wealth Management to sell longtime Portage Avenue HQ

Gabrielle Piché 4 minute read Updated: Yesterday at 10:05 AM CDT

The downtown IG Wealth Management building will soon be up for sale.

The Winnipeg-based financial services company is moving its headquarters after nearly 40 years at 447 Portage Ave., across from the former Hudson’s Bay flagship store.

By current timelines, staff will move into a newer downtown tower — 360 Main St. — in 2028.

Roughly 1,100 employees will make the transition, according to Nancy McCuaig, executive vice-president of IGM Financial, IG Wealth Management’s parent company.

Take action before emergency declarations

Marwa Suraj 4 minute read 2:00 AM CDT

Manitoba is living through several emergencies at once.

An HIV public-health emergency. A toxic drug crisis. Rising hepatitis C. Severe housing pressures. Communities asking for help before more people are lost.

In July, leaders from four Island Lake First Nations declared a regional public-health emergency. They described addiction, infection, homelessness and overcrowding converging in communities that do not have enough prevention, treatment or locally led care to meet the need.

These may look like separate problems.

Brown goes down, so do Blue

Taylor Allen 6 minute read Updated: 10:15 AM CDT

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers suffered one of their most embarrassing and inexcusable losses in recent memory on Thursday night.

A one-win B.C. Lions team — featuring a rookie quarterback making his first career start, a rookie running back making his first career start and two backup offensive lineman in action — somehow, someway dealt the Blue and Gold a 35-19 defeat in front of 31,509 disgruntled fans at Princess Auto Stadium.

The Bombers, now 1-4 on home turf this season, have dropped back-to-back games to fall to 4-4. The Lions improved to 2-5.

“Shit wasn’t good enough. Offence, defence, special teams. Wasn’t good enough,” said defensive end Willie Jefferson.

South Osborne residents fail in bid to prevent construction of 131-unit apartment tower

Malak Abas 3 minute read Wednesday, Jul. 29, 2026

A proposed 10-storey highrise on an empty south Osborne lot will move forward despite concerns from residents about the impact the building will have on nearby parking and traffic.

The city-owned lot at 425 Osborne St., which previously served as a gas station but has long sat vacant, will be developed into a mixed-use residential building with 131 units, 39 of which would be affordable, along with additional office space for the adjacent Winnipeg Transit garage and the Transit customer service centre across the street, along with a two-level parkade for tenants and Transit employees.

The property is being developed by the University of Winnipeg Community Renewal Corp. 2.0, and designed by Prairie Architects Inc.

At a meeting held by city council’s appeal committee Wednesday, several residents said while they supported the idea of more housing in the Lord Roberts neighbourhood, they had lingering concerns about the impact the development will have on the already-busy area.
