WINNIPEG The Beer Can, a popular pop-up beer garden, has picked its location for this summer. We re really excited for this location, said Jenna Khan, a co-owner. We are a pop-up, so the whole plan was to always find a new home in our second season.” The business has decided to set up shop in the Granite Curling Club s parking lot. We are kind of surrounded by some of Winnipeg s best neighbourhoods, said Khan. We are surrounded by trees and the river and it s kind of like a little oasis in the centre of the city. The move was a natural one since two of the owners are members of the curling club.

There s a new plan for the Beer Can.
The pop-up outdoor beer garden on Main Street a rare success story during the COVID-19 pandemic is moving to the Granite Curling Club s east parking lot this year.
The new spot is in close proximity to the Manitoba legislature, Osborne Street, Osborne Village and some of the city s most densely populated neighbourhoods a great location for attracting more walk-up customers, said owner Brad Chute.
She notes they don t have any young female curlers who identify as Indigenous among their players.
And that represents a bit of a disconnect, as about 12 per cent of North Bay s population identify as Indigenous. It s grown that much over the last 10 years. So we feel our sport should be out there and available and being played by everyone, Dobbin said.
She adds talks are underway between the club and with Nipissing First Nation and the North Bay Friendship Centre to help recruit. We want to learn from them as well. Our opening ceremony will be led by the Indigenous leaders in our community and then our closing ceremony will be run by them as well. We re hoping that they might do some workshops to teach us different things that we don t know as well.
