Winnipeg has a bold plan to modernize zoning rules and permitting processes, increase density near major transit routes, and build more than 15,000 new units to address our homelessness crisis and add more housing that's affordable for families and young people. 1/3

Gospel Song Sunday:
SWING LOW, SWEET CHARIOT (W. Willis, 1865)
is one of the best-known Christian songs in history. It enjoyed a resurgence during the 1960s country/folk revival. The most famous performance was by Joan Baez during the 1969 Woodstock Festival.

Lots of media coverage about the future of Portage & Main today. A new report shows that maintaining the status quo would cost too much ($73 million) and delay traffic for too long (up to five years). We need a more thoughtful, practical solution.
