On Oct. 16, a renovated greenspace, art piece, and monument were unveiled to pay tribute to the Grey Nuns, the foundresses of Manitoba’s health and human service systems, on the bank of the Red River at the intersection of Tache Avenue and Despins Street. According to a news release, the renovated space also completes another section of the pedestrian loop between St. Boniface Hospital and The Forks. “This greenspace and artwork are meant to be serene and contemplative in nature,” said artist Madeleine Vrignon in the release. The City of Winnipeg and Province of Manitoba contributed to the project through grant programs, and other contributors include the Catholic Health Corporation of Manitoba and the St. Boniface Hospital Foundation
