thanks for the pictures, Donovanf.

edit: is this still the plan for the Salvation Army building? it sems to be from a few years ago.. http://www.cier.ca/about-us/green-building-capital-campaign.aspx?id=54

CIER sold the building some time ago. Local family. No idea what the plans are for it. Too bad - handsome building.

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Nordik Spa construction underway

By: Staff Writer


A Quebec-based company has started construction on a Nordik Spa at a Winnipeg golf course.

In fall 2010, city council voted to allow a Quebec spa operator to lease land at the Crescent Drive golf course. The spa was initially slated to open in late 2012.

This afternoon, company officials released a press release saying construction on the project has started. The statement attributed the delay due to changes in the project's plans.

"The beginning of the construction was delayed because we wanted to add several items to improve the experience of our clients, and thus exceed expectations," the press release said.

The statement said the cost of the project has also risen to $8.5 million from $6.5 million.

The spa is now expected to open in spring 2013, and create more than 50 new jobs.

Looks like you are right, the WFP says that the mayor and council have been assigned space in the Bedford Building Parkade. It seems ironic that they have stalls in there after the fight to have it built.

Thanks for all the additional points guys. Obviously there is just so much going on recently in our downtown that I forgot to mention a few. My point of that post was, being bored at home last night, and secondly, just to give a quick overview of how much has or os goin on in our downtown.

Sorry that didn't go all high tech with the imagery and numerical points on the map.

[Archiseek]

If the PSB and the Civic Parkade were to be demolished, would it be too much to ask for a new covered public market building in their place?

[JamieDavid Exchange]

Wouldn't this be amazing if a smaller version of this could be build on Parcel 4? --------> http://www.solodistrict.com/index.html (click on "EXPLORE SOLO DISTRICT" to watch video)
