I was born into a family that owned a business downtown, I spent my formative years working in the family store downtown, and for the past 20 years I have been the co-owner of a business downtown. Our store, Canadian Footwear, has been part of Winnipeg’s downtown landscape since the early 1930’s. The children and grandchildren of many of our original customers continue to shop with us. Our business has ebbed and flowed over the years, just as the business climate around our store has. We recently invested over $400,000 to upgrade the exterior of our store, in part because we believe it strengthens our image and the image of downtown. Our new building façade includes a new marquee across the front of our building at the corner of William and Adelaide, along with a series of 13 backlit panels that brighten the neighbourhood and promote our products and services. We did this to demonstrate our commitment to downtown in a tangible way. We believe our reinvestment will pay dividends. New customers visit our store every week. The new look is more pedestrian friendly. The light boxes provide more illumination for people at night. The overall effect creates a clean, safe and welcoming environment that makes coming downtown a positive experience. Our free customer parking helps, too. The changes to our property are just a few of the exciting new developments happening downtown right now. New towers are being constructed in the district. The Sports Hospitality and Entertainment District (SHED) project is taking root on the downtown strip of Portage Avenue. This activity is a sign that Downtown Winnipeg is on the upswing, nearing the tipping point to become the vibrant and strong economic, cultural and social focus of our city. Now is our time, and as business owners it is our responsibility to keep the forward momentum going. I urge all of you to start every day by standing in front of your business and really look at it. Ask yourself: “Is this a place I want people to visit? Does my store reflect what I need to bring people downtown?” When I stand in front of my store each morning, I am proud to say “Yes!” Check out shoes from Canadian Footwear on p. 17 and 20. dtw | spring/summer 2013 7 office space | market Office sPACE 1 Spring is here, so bring some sunshine to your desk with fun office gear. 2 1.

But as of this spring, it will be reopening with a new life as a loft apartment building. “There was tremendous potential there, as I think anyone who admires the Exchange District can see,” says Daniel Melendez,Vice President of Your Next Place. “We wanted to respect that fact that is was a warehouse, so we have some exposed ductwork and beams, and exposed the brick walls. It’s those kinds of finishes we’re proud of, that respect the buildings heritage. People in Winnipeg are sophisticated - more sophisticated than we maybe give ourselves credit for.” Melendez believes that because of sites like Pinterest, travel and all the popular media around home décor and renovations, people have a better understanding of the design potential for homes, and their expectations have risen as a result. “So the onus is on us as developers to pick that up and say OK, I’m in the business of giving you what you want,” says Melendez. And based on the reactions from visitors to 370 Donald, Melendez is 10 dtw | spring/summer 2013 dtw | spring/summer 2013 11 home | mode Where to buy Has 370 Donald got you inspired to do some renovations of your own?

While they’ve kept touches like beams and brick intact, they’ve also built in sleek and modern kitchens and bathrooms, added in an elevator and storage space for tenants’ bikes, and are installing a small gym in the building. Square footage is small, but feels larger thanks to an open loft concept, 7.5 foot high windows and ceilings that soar up from 9 to 12 feet high. The choice to make the building’s units rentals was a very deliberate one for the company. “I think there’s a ton of will for this kind of space,” says Melendez. “I don’t think there are a ton of people who are in their early twenties who wouldn’t want to live in this district – but they don’t want to have to buy. There`s a place for condos, but there needs to be diversity, and giving people the opportunity to experience downtown without buying. And if the trickle down is that they love downtown and eventually want more space, they’ll grow into one of the condos.” Melendez says their company is trying create to a sense of community in their building, and connect with the community in downtown Winnipeg as a whole. “Our first tenant is a cook at a local restaurant downtown – we want people to live and work downtown. We want to have local people, who work at the 201 Portage building, the Richardson building, who work downtown and want to live downtown. That’s the whole philosophy.” For more information on 370 Donald, visit www.yournextplace.ca dtw | spring/summer 2013 13 matter | so/po so/po | matter So/Po So/Po – it’s a new abbreviation that Longboat Development Corporation and Artis REIT hope will catch on in Winnipeg. It stands for South Portage, an area that may soon be home to new development So/Po Square, a mixeduse development they have partnered on that will fill the block at Graham and Donald, currently home to a large surface parking lot owned by MPI. While plans are still in the feasibility study stage, the vision for the space is starting to emerge. In the initial plans, three mid-size towers flank an open air plaza. The plaza faces Graham Avenue and is open at the back, encouraging pedestrian traffic to flow through between major downtown destinations like the MTS Centre and Winnipeg Convention Centre. The plaza space could be used for programming and events like concerts from spring to fall, and includes large outdoor screens that could air Jets games for overflow crowds not lucky enough to get tickets. As a mixed-use development, ground level of the towers is envisioned as home to retail, restaurants and patios facing the plaza. Two would be designed for office space and a third for a multistory parkade with potential for a hotel. 14 dtw | spring/summer 2013 That multi-use plan is part of Longboat and Artis REIT’s commitment to fitting their development with the needs of the area and plans for other developments in the area. “It has to be in keeping with not just what MPI is looking for, but with the city of Winnipeg and the planning department sees, in line with what the SHED (Sports Hospitality Entertainment District) sees, all of those partners – we’re looking very closely at all of that and paying attention to what else is going on,” says Scott Stephanson, President of Longboat Development Corporation. “There are lots of tremendous urban planning perspectives to draw on from other cities. We see the SHED district as something that will have a little more consistency, rather than just ad hoc development. Something where the whole vision is cohesive, where you walk downtown and realize that you’re in the SHED district and see a real renewal of use.” Stephanson looks forward to a future of more and more developers joining them in the downtown soon. “We’re here to support the downtown and we’re pleased that other players are coming to the table. With these projects maybe it’s been our turn, and at some point soon we’ll see it be someone else’s.” dtw | spring/summer 2013 15 Coming alive! a fashion | market spring fling Spring has finally sprung, and that means it’s time to put away the darks and break out the colours of summer.

Drum groups competing for a $10,000 prize. Artisans selling authentic bead and leather work. Musicians walking the red carpet at the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards. All of this and more will flood the heart of the city for six days this August for the Manito Ahbee Festival. And when you hear the sound of the drum, Manito Ahbee wants you to know that it’s your invitation to join them. Summer is festival time in Winnipeg – the season when the city hosts the Fringe Festival, Folklorama, the Jazz Festival and Folk Festival – and this year for the first time Manito Ahbee Festival will be joining them. Historically held in November, this season the festival has been moved to August 16 - 21, bringing summer a six day celebration of indigenous arts and culture. Step into the festival, and it’s impossible to overlook the Pow Wow dancers. Travelling from all over North America to compete in a celebration of traditional song and dance, their elaborate regalia can stop visitors in their tracks to admire. Winnipeggers making their first visit to Manito Ahbee may not be aware that our city hosts one of the largest Pow Wow competitions on the continent, with competitive dance categories for everyone from children to those in their golden years. Dancers often travel a circuit from competition to competition around North America, and Manito Ahbee is highly regarded. “It’s considered a real coup to place here if you’re a dancer,” says Lisa Meeches, Executive Director of the festival. All of them can be seen at the spectacular Grand Entry - a succession of all the competitors and VIPs. With over 1200 dancers joining the festival in past years, it can take more than 45 minutes for them to all enter the arena. Emcees will be on hand to explain 26 dtw | spring/summer 2013 dtw | spring/summer 2013 27 matter | manito ahbee manito ahbee | matter Top 5 reasons to go to Manito Ahbee From APCMA host Lorne Cardinal Food You can try dishes like fried bread and Indian tacos – they’re fried bread with chilli, smothered with lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese – it’s delicious. Sights and Sounds You can hear the drum everywhere, calling you closer – and when you get there it’s filled with hundreds of people, walking around, shopping, smiling, and the sound of laughter is everywhere. Women’s Fancy Shawl Dance The women’s shawl dance is one of my favourites. The story has it that it’s modelled after the flight of a butterfly – they’re so light on their feet, and there are flashes of colour all around. Fancy Bustle Dance (Teen boys): Their limbs are all flying, it’s like they barely touch the floor, spinning and moving and dancing and jumping – they travel from all over the states and all over Canada to compete. APCMA Opening Ceremonies I love seeing the red carpet out, and we get as many of the dancers as we can to participate as well. And of course don’t miss the handsome emcee walking the red carpet! 28 dtw | spring/summer 2013 “I feel like the pride of one nation is the pride of all.” the regalia of each dance style for those who are new to the festival. And when the dancing begins, visitors can even step down onto the floor of the arena and participate during the intertribal dance – it’s open to everyone, whether they want to try learning the steps or begin just by walking with the dancers. the Indigenous Marketplace and Trade Show and take in authentic wares like drums, jewellery, bead and leatherwork. And it wouldn’t be a festival without food – a hit every year are Indian tacos, made with frybread or bannock instead of tortillas. “This spirit of welcome is at the heart of the festival,” says Lorne Cardinal of Corner Gas fame, who is returning as the host of the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards. “It’s not just a festival for First Nations people, but for all people. Everyone is welcome to come and share and learn.” And of course, culture doesn’t mean just traditional activities. The latest up and coming musicians are showcased on Sunday night at the Aboriginal Peoples Choice Music Awards, complete with red carpet, live performances, and host Lorne Cardinal, who says he can’t resist returning. “I love hearing the performers,” he says. “These are world class musicians, and our awards sometimes help launch careers. I want to share with everybody the talent and gifts that native people have, and maybe we can show some kid who may have come in from Dauphin what is possible when you put in the work.” Meeches couldn’t agree more. “I look at all the years that I’ve gone to participate at Folkorama, at all kinds of pavilions,” she says. “I feel like the pride of one nation is the pride of all. It helps you to understand your neighbours – and there are so many unique nations that now call Manitoba home. These things that make us proud as a community, we want to be able to share that sense of celebration and pride with everyone.” Once you step away from the Pow Wow competition, there are plenty of ways to celebrate at the festival – they also play host to world-class drumming and jigging competitions. Kids can participate in activities like learning how to make crafts or a paper tipi.Visitors in a shopping mood can stroll through “Be prepared to be amazed,” says Meeches. “Be prepared to enjoy yourself and to come out and celebrate with us!” August 16 – 21, 2013 MTS Centre www.ManitoAhbee.com Tickets available through Ticketmaster dtw | spring/summer 2013 29 Credit: Artistic Impressions menu | patios AZ patios | menu The Current the to Muddy Waters The first day of spring?
