L’imposant magasin La Baie de Winnipeg (1926) sera cédé à des Premières Nations. Ça semble assez majeur, une première dans le genre.
«The ornate Beaux Arts monolith, which takes up the better part of a downtown city block, will be converted into a multiuse space featuring 300 housing units, two restaurants, a health facility, child-care centre, museum and art gallery»
J’ai créé ce fil «Prairies» car je ne savais pas où placer cette nouvelle.

J’ai ajouté « canadiennes » au titre… j’étais confuse avec juste « Prairies », car on a la rivière des Prairies à Montréal et la ville de La Prairie en banlieue

Le gouvernement d’Alberta retire son financement dans l’expansion du LRT de Calgary
Calgary LRT expansion in peril as Alberta pulls over $1B in funding
The future of Calgary’s ambitious, multibillion-dollar Green Line LRT project is now in doubt after the province pulled over $1 billion in funding over revised plans it calls ‘unacceptable.’ Calgary Mayor Jyoti Gondek says without that money, the project is basically dead.
Calgary’s Green Line LRT is once again in limbo as city administrators figure out a way to transfer management of the $6.3-billion project — and its financial risk — to the Alberta government.
City council voted 10-5 late Wednesday afternoon to direct staff to return with options at the Sept. 17 regular meeting on how to wind down the project and turn it over to the province.

Council also voted unanimously to have Mayor Jyoti Gondek seek an emergency meeting with Premier Danielle Smith — a meeting a spokesperson for the premier told Postmedia she would be happy to set up.
The LRT project’s fate should be in the hands of the province, according to Gondek.

Inside a Calgary office building being converted into residential units
As the City of Calgary revives its office to residential building conversion program, CityNews is taking you inside a site that is being converted. Edward Djan has more.
Calgary’s office-to-residential conversion program is being revived by city hall nearly a year after it was paused when the city allocated all of its $153-million budget in the program’s first iteration.
The new round of funding sets aside $52.5 million to lure developers to undertake the expensive and burdensome process of flipping office buildings into multi-unit residential properties.
The renewed efforts come as Calgary’s downtown office space continues to show slight recovery from the doldrums earlier in the decade when large parts of the core hollowed out, with office vacancies peaking at 33.2 per cent in 2021. The city’s efforts, which began that year, gained attention across borders as a unique solution for cities whose downtown areas were suffering from chronic vacancies.

New development coming to Calgary’s East Village
Two parking lots near Calgary’s Central Library will go from housing cars to housing tenants. Edward Djan has more.
The city has sold two pieces of land in the East Village to a residential developer, with the aim of building more apartment buildings.
Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) said Monday Bankside Properties, together with Sumus Property Group, has bought two parcels just east of the Central Library, with the intention of building two residential buildings.
The city says the two buildings will each be six storeys tall and have 80 rental units with one-bedroom, one-bedroom-plus-den, and two-bedroom designs. The buildings will also mirror each other in design.
