  • 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.

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.

  • Rypien Would Have Loved Mental Wellness Summit, Says Jets Assistant GM Assistant Jets GM Says Mental Wellness Event Sure to Have Been Big Hit with Ex- Moose
    Winnipeg Free Press https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/rypien-would-be-loving-it-472060843.html Rypien would have loved mental wellness summit, says Jets assistant GM Assistant Jets GM says mental wellness event sure to have been big hit with ex- Moose By: Randy Turner The legacy of Rick Rypien was alive and well Wednesday at Burton Cummings Theatre. More than 1,500 grade-school students filled the theatre to take part in the first Project 11 Mental Health Wellness Summit, another milestone in the memory of Rypien, the former Manitoba Moose and Vancouver Canucks player who died Aug. 15, 2011, just before he was to arrive in Winnipeg as a member of the NHL’s Jets. Rypien, 27, who for years had struggled with severe depression, had taken his own life. For Jets assistant general manager Craig Heisinger — who first signed Rypien to a Moose contract in 2005 as an undrafted free agent and later worked tirelessly to help the player deal with his illness — Wednesday was a happy occasion. Heisinger was surveying the crowd just before taking the stage to speak — along with Jets players Nikolaj Ehlers and Bryan Little, Team Canada soccer Olympian Desiree Scott and former CFL player Shea Emry — when someone asked what Rypien would have thought of a theatre full of children celebrating mental wellness. "He would be absolutely thrilled," Heisinger said, smiling. "He’d be laughing his ass off that I have to do it. But this is tenfold what he would have expected. It’s remarkable." Following the morning session, another 1,500 students attended an afternoon session featuring Moose goaltender Eric Comrie.
