This Saturday January 9, 2pm a group of protesters and musicians will gather in front of Winnipeg's Windsor Hotel to rally against the demolition of Winnipeg's most historic blues and roots venue. It is about to be thoughtlessly destroyed to make way for a parking lot. Despite the substantial one million dollar bid to buy the hotel by the owners of the Royal George Hotel: Rick Penner and Boyd Newton as well as their partners, the offer was denied. These bidders would surely respect the institution as a
prominent institution in the history of Winnipeg and would keep the
musical fires burning in the heart of Winnipeg. Definitely a better
choice for our city! Charlie Chaplin stayed there and in the past 30
years, some of the best blues acts in the world have performed there,
including numerous local artists who still faithfully frequent the
location.
The Windsor is 107 years old and is a historic building.

Please sign this petition and keep the heart of this city!
