The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, or the H.A variety? Because honestly lol, i can't see any good types of 24/7 "clubhouses" coming out of Portage Place. I mean, if they want to try making community spaces, by all means. But historically with the area, all have been used and abused horrendously, and thats just counting the daytime places, nevermind anything operating 24 hours a day, if not more...
If they're planning to build anything 24/7, it needs to be actually designed, staffed and secured to prevent another infamous repeat of whats been happening the past three decades. That being said though, with all of these indoor rec centres as well, along with aboriginal places to meet, cityplace and all - does downtown Winnipeg have the ability & capacity to so wholly absorb - and ATTRACT - full crowds to take full advantage of it yet not lowballing provate sector recreation towards going out of business, much like having one Subway in an area versus five Subways barely a few hundred meters from eachother? They definitely need to factor in the effects for pre-existing businesses & ameneties, around Portage Place.
