Over the weekend Graham Mall, a major transit corridor in Downtown Winnipeg, received a long overdue facelift to keep pace with what private enterprise has done in the area.

“Graham Mall has become home to the Jets, Manitoba Hydro and a number of new businesses that have brought the avenue back to life. It really is the poster-child for how the downtown is revitalizing so we’re doing our part to make the avenue even more inviting,” said Downtown Winnipeg BIZ CEO Stefano Grande.

“We are pleased to work in partnership with the Downtown Winnipeg BIZ in the development of this new strategy and brand for Graham Avenue,” said Angela Mathieson President and CEO of CentreVenture. “Graham is growing with new businesses, new residents, and exciting new architecture. This new look matches the bright modern future of this important transit corridor.”

Downtown Winnipeg said in addition to the obvious new banners, there will be a number of other initiatives in the coming months designed to highlight this hidden gem of downtown Winnipeg.
