^ Sad to see it go. At the rate things are going, Brandon will barely have any old-school urbanity left.

Then again though, considering the Winnipeg exodus to other parts of the province, business/industrial investments and construction of facilities included... theoretically, could Brandon & Portage La Prairie not just reap the harvests & keep adding on "urban" developments to replace whats being destroyed & demolished? I mean, its not like it would cost a fortune to build up on a cheap-ass land parcel and to pay taxes, utilities and such on said lot over a few decades, right...? Portage la Prairie might have some sprawl coming at the rate its going, but more than enough time, foresight and money floating around Brandon to densify it toward European urban levels (and to then finally focus on extending the suburbs outwards when the current city size doubles to like 90,000 people & the city densifies accordingly). Brandon can still be saved.

The bones are there in Brandon, but I highly doubt there is any appetite at City Hall to look inwards. Although the absolute disaster that is the Corral Super Centre on the Assinniboine should cause some reflection by the City Planning Dept.

I guess SK is rich or something.

And they still have SaskTel. They still pay there for their cells what we used to pay with MTS.

Filmon and Pallister. What a pair. Hoodwinked us all and got rich in the process.

^ In the same neck of the woods, Niverville was awarded a MJHL expansion team to begin play in their new arena in fall 2022. There are over 4,000 people living there now, it's growing at a pretty fast clip.

Not sure how new this is, but the Brandon Town Centre is on the market. $6,795,000 takes it. (This has DaveFromSt.Vital written all over it!!)

It's been a couple of years since I've been through it, but it was very quiet in there... a far cry from when The Bay and Eatons were still inside, and it functioned as Brandon's main shopping centre.

I visit the town frequently due to my child friend living there and i'm shocked how many new homes and there's a huge new development just starting close to the arena as well.

LOL - Unfortunately, I think I will be taking a pass on this opportunity to begin "righting the asset"

Niverville's new rec centre has opened up. The highlight is a new arena which will be home to that town's new MJHL team which starts play in 2022.

According to the news article, the arena's seating hasn't arrived but should be coming soon. Apparently the arena holds 750 spectators with the ability to add a few hundred more, although it doesn't say exactly where.

If that wasn't enough, here's even more Niverville news for you. Niverville is getting a Blue Crescent Hotel with a - wait for it - waterpark. It will have 75 rooms and it will be the chain's fourth location and third in Manitoba after the original in Rivers and one under construction in Carman.
