In 1909, a capital campaign to build the Downtown Y. 250 canvassers raised $354,000 in seven days from local citizens. The Downtown Y was designed by Jackson and Rosencrans of New York, with local architect J. H. G. Russell working as an associate on the project. James Ashdown, the former Mayor of Winnipeg and prominent businessman, laid the cornerstone in 1911 and the doors officially opened in May 1913. This building was designated as a heritage building by the City of Winnipeg in 1985, and has been an important part of the downtown landscape and community for 110 years!
