Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 05/02/2015 (3928 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Nov. 4: Brian Bowman is sworn in as mayor.
Nov. 18: Bowman attends a Winnipeg Jets game with MLA Kevin Chief, the provincial cabinet minister responsible for the city of Winnipeg. True North chairman Mark Chipman shows Bowman and Chief a promotional video depicting True North’s development plans for Carlton Street.
Nov. 20: Acting Winnipeg CAO Deepak Joshi emails Jason Fuith, Bowman’s chief of staff, information about True North’s option on 220 Carlton St.
Dec. 1: Former CentreVenture president and CEO Ross McGowan emails the True North option to Krista Borsyskavich, acting director of legal services for the city.
Dec. 12: McGowan shows Fuith the promotional video.
Dec. 19: Boryskavich informs McGowan about conditions the city wishes to attach to the sale of 220 Carlton St.
Jan. 16: The city publishes a report recommending executive policy committee release convention-centre construction contractor Stuart Olson from an obligation to build a hotel at 220 Carlton St. — and allow CentreVenture to proceed with plans for site with a “credible developer.” Joshi is suspended.
Jan. 20: Bowman tells reporters he has only heard “rumours and rumblings” about a plan involving 220 Carlton St.
Jan. 21: Council’s executive policy committee changes a latter portion of plan to require CentreVenture open up 220 Carlton St. to other bidders. Bowman demands to learn more about proposal with a “credible developer.”
Jan. 26: CentreVenture board members confirm True North is the “credible developer.” True North confirms it is planning a development for both 220 and 225 Carlton St.
Jan. 28: Council approves plan requiring CentreVenture open up 220 Carlton St. to other bidders.
Feb. 2: McGowan and CentreVenture board chairman Curt Vossen provide documentation of a Nov. 20 email from Joshi to Fuith — erroneously saying McGowan sent it — and a Dec. 12 meeting with Fuith.
Feb. 3: Bowman says McGowan and Vossen mis-characterized the quality of information sent; notes McGowan did not send Fuith the email and said the video was vague as to which land it depicted.
Boryskavich Chipman says Bowman was shown the promotional video in November and states the project is on hold. Video is shown to depict 220 and 225 Carlton St. Bowman states he had been recently elected and not apprised of the file when he saw the video.
