If there's one thing some Winnipeggers never seem to learn, it's that a rich and quirky history is not worth celebrating if there's nobody around to do the celebrating. Flash-forward to last week, when a similar dynamic played out at city hall. Bowing under the weight of pressure from a heritage lobby, Winnipeg Mayor Sam Katz convinced would-be apartment builder Crystal Developers to bow out of a plan to erect a 20-storey residential tower at the corner of Fort Street and Assiniboine Avenue. Converting existing buildings into apartments is an onerous task, thanks to building-code requirements. And purchasing an empty plot of land and building new is also fairly difficult, despite the misinformation spread by Crystal Developers' opponents during the Upper Fort Garry debate.
This time, I'm leaving for good." he narrates. "Again. "The film was not going to fall together in the 10 weeks we had to cut the picture," [Andrew Dominik] explained at a TIFF press conference after its Canadian premiere in September. "It was a tough movie to cut. It doesn't have a plot, it's based on the emotional energies of each (character) building the right way. The performances are really complex. All you've got are characters," Dominik said. "There were stories that this was a troubled film and it's been a train wreck and all that stuff," Dominik said. "And it's only worked in our favour, I think. The movie's a lot better than people expected, or were led to believe."

I can't wait for this building to be built," said [David Chartrand], standing on a plot of land adjacent to the U of M education building where the Aboriginal Student Centre will be constructed. "It will give them a place to call home and to feel a part of the university. "This facility ushers in a new era for aboriginal education in Canada and sets the stage for greater interaction between aboriginal students and their peers," said Dr. Emoke Szathmary, president of the U of M. "This will be a hub that provides supports and services to aboriginal students that will increase the likelihood of their success." "The new centre will be great for the U of M and aboriginal students," he said. "The quarters it's housed in now are very cramped. It will be a great step towards ensuring that abo...

"You're not going to release it in the summer. And if you miss one fall, you wait for the next one," he said. "In the meantime, obviously there's time to tinker," he said.

THE PLOT: Only nine days before council breaks for the summer, a $1-million land swap gets walked onto a closed-door council committee meeting and then squeaks its way past Mayor [Sam Katz]'s cabinet. Now, city council must decide whether to approve a plan to give acres of unserviced city land in northwest Fort Garry to [Andrew Marquess] in exchange for a smaller parcel of serviced land next to the Fort Rouge Yards. The plan could lay the foundation for a 3,500-townhouse development, the extension of Sterling Lyon Parkway to Pembina Highway, a bus-rapid-transit spur line toward southwest Winnipeg and new commercial developments along Taylor Avenue. Public hearings must take place before any of this happens, but residents who live near the proposed development are upset. THE PLOT: Herita...

On Monday, all three levels of government announced $2.4 million of funding toward Winakwa Community Centre's $2.63 million expansion, a project listed No. 2 on the General Council of Winnipeg Community Centres' priority list. The $1.8-million deal will see [Rubin Spletzer]'s Heritage Landing Inc. buy Assiniboine Avenue land between Donald Street and Bonnycastle Park, encompassing the former home of Winnipeg's Board of Revision, an accessory building, a surface parking lot and a ribbon of green space. Spletzer plans to build a 25-storey, 180-unit residential tower on the plot, with rental apartments making up at least 65 per cent of the suites. In March 2008, Spletzer walked away from a deal to buy a separate plot of surplus land at the edge of Upper Fort Garry's former footprint to mak...
