Downtown <strong>Winnipeg</strong> is about to get one <strong>of</strong><br />
its largest bookstores for students, residents<br />
and <strong>of</strong>fice workers in a newly refurbished<br />
space in the former Greyhound bus depot.<br />
The main floor refurbishment will include<br />
other retail activities such as a food and<br />
beverage outlet.<br />
The new, modern 6,000-square foot<br />
bookstore will be the anchor tenant in a<br />
retail plaza featuring a new state-<strong>of</strong>-the-art<br />
website for online purchasing. It will be open<br />
for business in fall 2010. This will allow the<br />
Disability Resource Centre to move into the<br />

is vacated.<br />

500 students enroll in ELP annually.<br />
