MHCA is proud to receive a commemorative piece of the concrete barriers that once stood at Portage and Main, presented by MD Steele Construction Ltd., who led the landmark intersection re-opening project.

To honour the significance of this historic undertaking and recognize the contributions of the project team and key stakeholders, MD Steele transformed one of the intersection’s iconic concrete barriers into a unique keepsake. Each piece was carefully cut into the outline of the City of Winnipeg, creating a lasting symbol of a project that reshaped one of Canada’s most recognizable intersections.

Designed by local Anishinaabe artist Jordan Stranger, the keepsakes feature one of four original designs representing the four corners of Portage and Main. His artwork reflects the spirit of community, connection to the land, and the shared path forward that the project represents.

MHCA was honoured to receive the Two Rivers keepsake, which celebrates the meeting of the Red and Assiniboine Rivers. The design depicts the splash of a walleye as sage falls to bless the land and the community nearby.

We extend our thanks to MD Steele Construction for this meaningful tribute and for commemorating a project that will remain an important part of Winnipeg’s history for generations to come.

Tow truck operators do more than tow vehicles—they clear the way and often show up in high-risk situations to help other drivers. Poor visibility, distracted drivers and weather conditions make their jobs even more dangerous.

Slow down, move over and give them space to do their jobs safely.

NEWS RELEASE: FIPPA Release Raises Serious Concerns Regarding Development of Manitoba Jobs Agreement

Manitoba construction industry associations are calling for greater transparency and an independent review regarding the development and implementation of the Manitoba Jobs Agreement (MJA) following the release of documents obtained through Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA) requests.

The records raise significant concerns regarding how the MJA framework was developed, the absence of consultation prior to implementation, and the apparent lack of publicly available procurement analysis supporting one of the most significant changes to Manitoba public infrastructure procurement in decades.
