A woman whose family has become a symbol of Indigenous rights is speaking out after being kicked out of her hotel room late at night in downtown Winnipeg with nowhere to go.
After more than a decade sitting vacant, the vision for a new development around CF Polo Park has been unveiled, featuring park and retail spaces, bike paths along with thousands of apartments.
A newly unveiled plan envisions high-rise apartment buildings with six to 12 storeys each replacing the surface parking lots covering much of the area around Polo Park shopping centre, including the site of the Winnipeg Blue Bombers' former stadium.
