Winnipeg hotel tied to convention centre expansion now expected in 2028, over a decade behind schedule

Summary

A hotel project in downtown Winnipeg, intended to help finance the city's convention centre expansion completed in 2016, is now expected to be finished in 2028 — more than a decade late. The original plan called for the hotel to open the same year as the $180 million convention centre expansion, generating $17 million in convention business and $16 million in tax revenue. However, proposals fell through for years, and the COVID-19 pandemic further delayed progress.
