WINNIPEG The former Hudson s Bay store in Downtown Winnipeg was the topic of conversation Thursday afternoon at a virtual summit held by Heritage Winnipeg to discuss the historic structure and its significance to the city. The Bay closed late last year and Heritage Winnipeg is looking at what it should be used for next. During the summit, there were several speakers that ranged from historians and architects to real estate professionals and urban planners. Mary Rowe, who is the president and CEO of the Canadian Urban Institute, was one of the speakers during the event and said now is the time to get creative with the empty landmark and all ideas should be discussed.
