A 15-storey health-care tower with a primary-care clinic, an after-hours walk-in clinic and a satellite facility for the Pan Am Clinic are part of a roughly $550-million plan to redevelop downtown Winnipeg’s Portage Place mall.
True North Real Estate Development — which has an option to purchase the mall, the parkade below it and rights to build two new high-rise towers above it — is planning a radical makeover for the 36-year-old megaproject that would transform it into a downtown community campus.

Manitoba health minister says she hasn’t read report that says many health-care staff have considered quitting
Manitoba Health Minister Audrey Gordon says her department wasn’t aware of a year-old report making more than 30 recommendations to improve the well-being of the province’s health-care workers — and she herself has yet to read it.
The report called for numerous actions after finding more health-care workers in Manitoba who are dealing with burnout and thinking of changing jobs than elsewhere in Canada.
Gordon said the report, prepared by consulting firm Deloitte, wasn’t commissioned by the provincial Progressive Conservative government, but rather Shared Health, the provincial organization that co-ordinates health-care service delivery and planning across Manitoba.

“They are, in fact, private hospitals and clinics.”
