| Collections: | Winnipeg Tribune fonds Landmarks, Monuments & Built Heritage of the West |
| Description: | A Winnipeg Tribune article by Urban Affairs reporter Tom Shillington which discusses the ongoing debate over the Empire Hotel. Great West Life director of corporate properties, John Brice claims that his company bought the site for the land, not the building, and argues that the costs associated with maintaining and restoring or preserving parts of the building are too large to be borne by his company. There are suggestions, though nothing firm, that Parks Canada may renovate the building for their new office space. |
