adaptation in a world that often changes while forgetting its past. Just as Winnipeg did when its City Hall was demolished to make way for a new building, which will probably be demolished one day for the same reasons? You can see the consequences when you compare yourself to Toronto, which has kept its original city hall. Different function, but still there for a sense of continuity.
In Saint-Boniface, the town hall and the 3 other buildings in our town center’s civic square are part of our daily lives. Its functions change over the years, but its importance and unifying character are constant, and important to maintain.
More than 60 years ago, I visited City Hall for the first time to appear before a judge for a minor infraction at the wheel of my father’s car. He was there too. I used to go to the fire station every year to renew my bicycle license.
Today I go inside to access information of tourist interest to us and our visitors, to see art exhibitions, or to attend meetings in a boardroom superbly suited to such a function.
