Good news for UWinnipeg

Add as preferred on Google(opens in a new tab)

The announcement isn’t new funding but it’s just as important. The city of Winnipeg is shutting one block of Spence street, which divides the UWinnipeg campus, to vehicle traffic for good.

This may not seem like much, but it will make a big difference to the campus.

I remember visiting the university and how difficult it was to move around outside due to the number of pedrestians, the narrow sidewalks, and the traffic on Spence street waiting to hit any unfortunate soul who failed to cling to the sidewalk.
