Nor is the story told about the individuals who provide a public face of the enterprise, the individuals that represent the investor’s vision. My aim is to do just that, to recall the fortunes of the Fort Garry Hotel, a grand, luxurious Winnipeg landmark on Broadway. The Grand Trunk Pacific Railway Era 1904–1919 At the end of the 19th century all the pieces of the puzzle were coming together in the development of Western Canada.

Prime Minister Laurier held intensive secret negotiations with Charles Melville Hays, General Manager of the British- owned Grand Trunk Railway (GTR), incorporated in 1851 and operating lines in United States, Quebec and southern Ontario. The results of the negotiations, announced in Parliament in July 1903, underlined Hays’ risk-taking Archives of Manitoba, Foote 1536, N2567. nature and Laurier’s desire for railway expansion into the Winnipeg photographer Lewis Foote took this view of the Fort West.
