The demolition of a decades-old building in Winnipeg’s North Kildonan area is officially underway. On Monday, construction crews could be seen tearing down the Harbourview Recreation Complex at Kilcona Multi-Use Park. The demolition is part of a $6 million project to improve accessibility, address aging infrastructure and enhance amenities at the park. The plan also includes improvements to the off-leash dog area and construction of a roadway and multi-use pathway. According to the City of Winnipeg, the upgrades will address safety issues, improve the park’s appearance and make room for waterfront naturalization. The city previously told CTV News the Harbourview Recreation Complex, which was first built in 1980, was beyond repair due to the age and condition of the building. Demolition and removal work is expected to be finished before winter.
