Golf Course – New Hotel University of Manitoba SmartPark
Though the University of Manitoba just bought a private golf course north of its campus to provide it with extra lands to satisfy its developer ambitions it seems that Bob Silver and Alan Simms, his right hand man, want to build an on-campus hotel on the U of M Smartpark site. The millions of your federal and provincial dollars that were spent on roads and sewers to build high-tech nutriceutical business incubators will instead be used to build a hotel with a hotelier like Lakeview or Delta. I admit that my wife and I spent an enjoyable few days at the hotel on the downtown campus of another U of M, the University of Minnesota. I enjoyed the late evening walk through the leafy campus to see Norah Jones at the Northrop Auditorium. Still, is this kosher? The U of M already owns a vast portion of Waverley West. (Ladco would have you believe otherwise.) Our U of M now owns the adjoining Southwood Golf Course. Does Bob Silver really need to build a hotel on land that could very well provide our next growth industry? Hotels we already have in abundance in Winnipeg. Any news of this in the WFP?
