Does anyone know if the old salvageable brick/wood gets reused or dumped in most of these cases (maybe not this one specifically, but is it common practice here?)

I bet that there was some great old-growth wood in there, and the bricks may have been made in MB bricks.

Rakowski Demo runs a crushing plant for brick and concrete in the industrial area of the far edge of northeast Transcona. They also do wood grinding there and recycle metal in St. Boniface.

I am guessing that when they took down this building they separated the wood, brick/concrete and any metal and took it to their plants for processing and resale.

There are few other places that also take concrete/brick and crush it for recycled concrete aggregate.

I'm not sure where the other big demo companies like Imrie get rid of their brick/concrete though, but their web site says they attempt to recycle 98% of what they demo.

This wasn't the EV battery company that was considering setting up in Winnipeg, was it? Did we actually dodge a bullet?

I'm not sure exactly, but seems they started right at the big EV market slowdown. The one near Winnipeg, along with other battery/lithium projects here, are mostly on hold right now.

Once the market picks up, maybe they'll re-start. We've got a number of projects at work that are paused currently.

Here's the news from recently on the Winnipeg plant. It went to Ontario.
