Ruth Bonneville / Free Press BIZ - downtown seniors Dave Hall and his partner Barb Remnant enjoy downtown living including checking out jazz or classical music at the Garrick Hotel. Story Dave lives on Langside, just outside downtown Winnipeg. However, he walks through downtown Winnipeg two to four times a week and gave up his car. He’s in favour of all the new development downtown but wishes there was more public housing for seniors and people struggling with addiction. This is for an article on downtown residents’ perspective about living in the area, and the new developments. Photo taken outside the Garrick Hotel, 287 Garry St., a place he’ll go for jazz or classical music. See story by Gabby Sept 21st 2026
