    Very true.

    But that isn't what appears to be happening: http://www.newwinnipeg.com/community/discussion/2357/

    Wonder if this move could be part of Bio Med City?

    Kudos to the gov't for keeping Weston in Winnipeg.

    It's part of the HSC master plan which is a subset, I guess you could say, of the overall Bio Med City.

    dont the majority of Weston's workers... live in Weston? And does that mean the community is no longer considered Weston?

    I thought it was because of Weston St, not the factory.

    Weston Street and the CP Weston Shops all predate Weston Foods, don't they? However, I always found it an interesting coincidence that Weston Foods has long had a significant presence on Weston Street!

    They're on Weston? I thought they were on Elgin?

    Where did the name come from Weston the factory.. or Weston the area? Who named who?

    The bakery is on Elgin, but Weston/Westfair has warehouses and other facilities on Weston Street.

    Ah, but those aren't relocating...hence the confusion about what you were referencing :)
