The Exchange to the industrial park: the Business desk
The Business desk covers Winnipeg's economy where it is lived — the storefront, the shop floor and the order book.
Winnipeg's economy is not an index; it is whether the storefront turns its lights on, who the plants are hiring, and what the order book says about next year. This desk starts at that altitude and works up, never the reverse.
When the desk covers an opening, a closure or an investment, it will trace the decision to whoever made it and put the numbers in reach of anyone who wants to check them.
Owners, workers, builders, buyers: the desk's door is tips@portagepress.ca.
