Yesterday, Gordon Sinclair of the Winnipeg Free Press wrote an enlightened article regarding the recent decision by the downtown development committee.  While I certainly do not want to completely negate any praise due to the Mayor’s support of the committee’s decision, I think that the harsh terms he imposed are harsh: (i) until March 31, 2008, to raise $10 million dollars, and (ii) secure a plot of land adjacent to the site from a club that is not particularly eager to sell.  I still have confidence in the ability of the Friends of Upper Fort Garry to meet these high requirements.

The article is available here, and please leave a comment if you have any opinions on the matter.  Although there is an option to log in, you do not have to have an account to leave a comment.
