New health-care centre coming to downtown Winnipeg

A new health-care centre will be built at the site of Portage Place in downtown Winnipeg.

Premier Wab Kinew made the announcement Friday morning, saying the province will be partnering with True North and the Southern Chiefs’ Organization.

“What it does is it meets many of the needs that we have to make our city, our downtown, our province that great shining beacon of light that we want it to be for the future,” Kinew said.

“We want better health-care in Manitoba, we want to revitalize downtown, we want to save Portage Place, we want to ensure the long-standing financial viability of the assets we have downtown, not least of all, the people who bring downtown to life.”

Construction is expected to begin in 2025, with the centre opening in 2028.

This is a developing story. More to come.
