Winnipeg developer recognized with honorary street naming

(Jamie Dowsett/CTV News Winnipeg) The City of Winnipeg has officially recognized a man who helped revitalize and transform Winnipeg's Exchange District. Councillor Vivian Santos announced an honorific street naming of the area between 93 Lombard Avenue and 111 Lombard Avenue intersecting with Westbrook Street as 'Monte Nathanson Way.' The name honours the developer, who passed away in 2024 at the age of 93. 'Monte was a pioneer, not just in bricks and mortar, but in imagination,' Santos said. 'When others looked at Winnipeg's old warehouse buildings and saw relics of the past, Monte saw potential. He believed in the power of restoration and revitalization, and through his leadership, we saw the rebirth of the Exchange District.' Coun.

(Jamie Dowsett/CTV News Winnipeg) In the 1970s, Nathanson transformed 93 Lombard Avenue, which was a warehouse and a pipe factory, into a new office building in the Exchange District. 'It was in shambles: sinking floors, rail sidings, corroded plumbing and a dilapidated loading dock,' said his daughter Sherryl Steinberg. 'But that's not what he saw. He saw the beauty of original brick and beam. He saw a stately, dignified building that could become the launchpad for a revitalized area. Once again, he had a plan to restore Winnipeg's architectural heritage and make the Exchange District and waterfront a place to work, live and learn.' Nathanson, who helped create United Equities Group, also helped restore numerous historic properties in Winnipeg, including 111 Lombard Avenue and 200 Waterfront Drive. 'Monte left his mark, not only in our skyline, but in the very soul of our downtown,' Santos said. 'His work helped build the cultural and economic vibrancy we are all enjoying today.'

N.B. government reviewing labour board's order to rescind school layoff notices

Many New Brunswick librarians are uncertain if they will have jobs in September. Laid off library workers and school support staff in New Brunswick are still unclear about their future, a week after an order was issued for their pink slips to be rescinded. The New Brunswick Labour and Employment Board found the provincial government didn't bargain in good faith with the Canadian Union of Public Employees (CUPE) earlier this year when it 'failed in its duty to disclose government decisions that would and did have a significant impact on the negotiations process.' The board ordered the province rescind layoff notices, as well as rescind the decision to reduce working hours for school administrative assistants, until the ratification of a tentative agreement. A total of 69 workers in Anglophone School District West were issued layoff notices in April, including: 32 library workers 19 education assistants 10 administrative assistants seven district administrative support staff members one student attendant Layoff notices were also sent to 13 full-time and five part-time library workers in Anglophone School District South, with District scolaire francophone Sud also confirming lay off notices. Theresa McAllister, president of CUPE Local 2745 Educational Support Staff, said the union hasn't heard anything directly from the provincial government since the board's order was issued. 'I know I have some feelers out there trying to find out some information as to how and when we start to move forward,' says McAllister. Education Minister Claire Johnson responded to the board's order on Friday, telling reporters she had no new information to share with affected workers. A written statement from the department on Monday said it would 'be taking time to review' the board's decision without offering a timeline on when that might be completed. When layoff notices were first issued this past spring, Johnson said every school district was being directed to prioritize money for literacy and numeracy skills while finding $43 million in savings. In June, the province budgeted an additional $14.6 million for school districts but didn't tie the money to hiring back laid off workers. Interim Progressive Conservative Leader Glen Savoie says the labour and employment board's decision is clear, questioning what exactly that government has to review. '(The provincial government) has been found guilty in a sense,' says Savoie. 'So here we are, now having to wait, while the government decides whether or not it wants to take responsibility.' Green Party Leader David Coon says the provincial government is trying to delay the inevitable. 'I don't understand why they're treating it as complicated, it's very straightforward,' says Coon. 'I don't see what choice they really have here.' School library Students sit in a school library. (CTV News) For more New Brunswick news, visit our dedicated provincial page.

‘You win, City': Doodle Dogs shutters Marda Loop shop; prolonged construction cited as reason

Doodle Dogs has permanently closed its Marda Loop location amid ongoing city construction in the neighbourhood. A Calgary pet store owner blames prolonged city construction in Marda Loop for the permanent closure of her shop, saying repeated promises of completion were never fulfilled and the financial toll became impossible to bear. Doodle Dogs co-owner and co-founder Meghan Huchkowsky announced Tuesday that the store's location at 2014 34th Ave. S.W. had closed for good, ending what she described as a long and costly battle with construction impacts. 'It's been 15 months. We can't keep operational here,' Huchkowsky said in an interview. 'It's costing us a fortune to run the business, which is why we chose to just close the doors permanently.' In a social media post, Huchkowsky wrote that her team had held on through months of financial losses, saying they 'kept saying 'just one more month … it'll get better,'' but could no longer survive the disruption. 'The construction absolutely killed our store,' the post read. 'You win, City.' While she stopped short of directly blaming any individual with the City of Calgary, Huchkowsky said the pace and duration of construction on sidewalks, streets and underground utilities had been devastating. 'Something happened where this was decided to be done, and then I believe it was pretty mismanaged,' she said. 'It just feels like it never ends.' She said limited accessibility, changing sidewalk routes, blocked entrances and misinformation from construction staff kept customers away—even when the store was technically open. 'There was an issue where someone on site was flagging people away from our entrance, citing that they did not have access to our store,' she said. 'That was devastating.' Colin Chapman, the City of Calgary's project lead for the Marda Loop construction, said crews were instructed to maintain access and pedestrian detours throughout the project. 'One of the key pieces in our planning was to make sure pedestrian access was maintained at all times,' he said. 'Sometimes that doesn't happen, and then we try to rectify it as quickly as we can.' Chapman said city crews have performed daily safety checks and met weekly with business liaisons. He added that parking in the area has been limited during road work but said two temporary lots with about 75 combined stalls were created nearby to help. 'Again, it's not the same as having [parking] directly in front of the business, which we understand,' he said. The Marda Loop Business Improvement Area's executive director, Bob van Wegen, acknowledged the hardship businesses have faced during the construction. 'Businesses definitely have had a tough time during construction. There's no doubt about that,' he said. 'It's been super challenging for the businesses that have been here during construction.' Van Wegen said the bulk of the work is expected to be completed by mid-September, with final paving and cleanup extending into early October. But Huchkowsky said she's heard similar timelines before and no longer believes them. 'I'm very grateful that the BIA is optimistic, but they're hearing the same information that I'm hearing—and it's the same information we heard 15 months ago when we opened,' she said. Chapman also said the project is expected to be substantially complete by the end of September, with only 'final checks and deficiency walks' continuing into October. 'Our construction completion date is Oct. 31,' he said. 'But before then, we should be substantially complete for all those areas.' Huchkowsky says had the city actually told her to shut down during construction, she would have received loss-of-business insurance. She says staying open with the reduction in access and customers was untenable. Asked whether the city ever considered advising businesses to shut down temporarily, Chapman said no. 'We try to plan to make sure we have business access and continuity there for them,' he said. 'We are building for the community and to keep them operational, not to close them.' The shop's neighbour, Tina Bilt, who owns Skintelligence European Boutique, says her business of 40 years has also suffered. She's now considering relocating. 'It's not really running a business now,' Bilt said. 'It's just waiting for clients to come, and they cannot come because it's construction everywhere.' Though the city has promoted a nearby two-hour free parking lot, Huchkowsky questions how many customers are even aware of it. 'How do people know about it? Is it my responsibility to communicate that there's a parking lot randomly in a back alley?' she said. She's not seeking compensation, she said—just recognition of the cost. 'I can't by any means say what (is) or what isn't owed. But here's what I can say for certain: everyone who lives here who shops at our store loves our store and has told us they can't get to our store,' she said. 'That's what we need the city to hear.' Despite Doodle Dogs' other locations continuing to operate, along with its online store, Huchkowsky says the Marda Loop closure leaves her grieving what could have been. 'We wanted this store for them. They wanted this store. And I'm devastated that the folks who live here don't have the commercial access they need,' she said. 'At least now we have control over what we can do about the situation, because obviously nobody else is taking control.'
