In an interview with Global News earlier this week, Mankewich voiced his concern.
“It’s frustrating that nothing’s really changed in the last 40 years in terms of the design of the concourse and you know, hopefully they can figure this out,” Mankewich said.
Mankewich tweeted at the City of Winnipeg on Mar. 1 and was told the building owner of 201 Portage was responsible for repairs, later admitting it was in fact the City who owned the building.
