Hudson’s Bay unofficially announced the six-storey, 655,000-square-foot building in downtown Winnipeg is to be transferred to the Southern Chiefs’ Organization (SCO) and will be used for economic and social reconciliation.
“We felt we had the responsibility to try and find the right solution for that building,” said Richard Baker, the governor, CEO and executive chairman of Hudson’s Bay Co.
“We received a call and a meeting in New York with the Southern Chiefs’ Organization about their vision and it was a really exciting vision and proposal and it just felt right for that building,” he said in an interview with CTV News.
Baker said Canada is coming together for reconciliation and the company wants to be a leader in that field.
“Who better than HBC to lead the way for other people. Why can’t other companies contribute assets or contribute buildings or different resources as part of reconciliation? Why not?”
SCO Grand Chief Jerry Daniels said one of the plans for the building is to include 300 housing units.
