A Case Study on the Process of Producing True North Square, Winnipeg MB Assembling Spaces A Case Study on the Process of Producing True North Square, Winnipeg MB by: Evan D. Sinclair A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF CITY PLANNING Department of City Planning Faculty of Architecture University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2018 Evan D. Sinclair Abstract The production of urban space is increasingly influenced by concepts, techniques, and practices circulating between cities. While this phenomenon has been criticized for its potential to disregard local context, it has also been commended for its potential to introduce tried and tested concepts. In examining the process of producing True North Square, a mixed-use development in downtown Winnipeg, this case study explores how knowledge was mobilized from other North American cities and, in turn, re-assembled in the context of privately-owned public space. Using document analysis, semi-structured interviews, and a context study as the primary research methods, this thesis recommends that planners, architects, and developers mobilizing knowledge from other cities should put more emphasis on processual factors – including principles behind decision making, contextual influences, and responses of local users – as opposed to the physical outputs. In doing so, the study also identifies relevant lessons for producing flexible and contextually appropriate privately-owned public spaces, as well as approaches for their subsequent management. I Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to sincerely thank all of the interview participants who took the time to speak with me and share their passion for downtown Winnipeg, without whom this research would not have been possible. As well, I would like to express my gratitude to True North Real Estate Development for supporting my undertaking of this case study, which opened up a variety of new possibilities and exciting directions. Of course, thank you to my advisor, Dr. Richard Milgrom for helping me to develop my ideas and encouraging me to see this research through, as well as my committee members Dr. Jeremy Németh and Dr. Aaron Moore for their consistent support. Further, I would like to express my appreciation to all of the faculty members within the Department of City Planning, who patiently listened to my presentations and provided an abundance of thoughtful feedback. I must also acknowledge the generous financial support I was provided throughout my studies and, in some cases, specifically to complete this major degree project: SSHRC Canada Graduate Scholarship – Masters; Manitoba Graduate Scholarship; Dean David Witty Urban Design Scholarship; and the Corrigill Scholarship. Not only did this support provide me with the opportunity to remain focused on this thesis, but it validated the importance of the subject matter and overarching intent as well. Importantly, I need to articulate my admiration for fellow MDP Club members Lissie Rappaport and Michael Blatz, who were more helpful than they know. Thank you both for keeping me motivated and making time for those much needed beer breaks. Finally, I would like to extend a most genuine thanks to all of my friends, family members, and colleagues who were so patient with me throughout this program. In particular, thank you Katie Godfrey, Andrew Budyk, Tom Janzen, and Bob Somers for your ongoing help and unwavering trust.

Highlights from the first part of the year included: • Camp Manitou operating at full capacity during the summer of 2019, while preparing the commencement of construction of a new lodge. • Pre-COVID, the 2019-20 school year saw 2,000 teachers across Manitoba trained to utilize the online-based Project 11 Mental Health Curriculum, available to all teachers and schools at no cost. • The Winnipeg Jets Hockey Academy (WJHA) grew to include 900 student athletes, providing opportunity to learn both sport and life skills from coaches, mentors, and one another. • Dual effort fundraising occurred, operating both tradition fund generating events (described in this report), and initiating a capital campaign required to grow capacity at Camp Manitou. In the midst of this activity, the effects of the COVID global pandemic began in Manitoba quickly in mid-March 2020, and challenged all facets of the TNYF. The cancellation of NHL/AHL games stopped the 50/50 and other fundraising efforts. The capital campaign was similarly paused, as we all waited to learn the scope impacts of the pandemic. With the transition from regular to home-schooling, normal delivery of programing for each of WJHA, Project 11 and Camp Manitou similarly came to an abrupt halt.
