WINNIPEG – The federal government is putting up another $31 million for the transformation of a former Hudson’s Bay Company flagship store in Winnipeg.
The project, announced two years ago, is to see the six-storey, 60,000-square-metre downtown building turned into an Indigenous hub of housing, social services, government offices and cultural space.
Hudson’s Bay Company transferred the historic building in 2022 to the Southern Chiefs’ Organization, which represents 34 First Nation groups in southern Manitoba.
