The entrance to 100 Sinclair St. is cramped, but somehow you’re still greeted by hundreds of smiling faces.

“It’s kind of cool to see the legacy of some of the work you’ve been doing for all the years,” said Trevor LaForte, executive director for the Winnipeg Aboriginal Sport Achievement Centre (WASAC). He’s gazing at photos of young employees the non-profit has hired since it started in 1999.

La Forte hopes the legacy lives on, even though the building at 100 Sinclair St. may not.

The building, the nearby outdoor rink and garden boxes are all slated to be torn down to make room for a new Winnipeg police station.
