Winnipeg | Hudson’s Bay Building | Wehwehneh Bahgahkinahgohn | U/C
With the downtown Winnipeg Hudsons Bay Building permanently closed as a store it comes time to look into what redevelopment of the site might be like. I know this has gone on for decades already but this latest development makes it a lot more urgent and seems to warrant its own discussion thread.
