Those #VoteOpen days were wild.
I'm still resentful that a basic accessible infrastructure decision was made into a political war by a few ppl.
Anyhoo, here we are.

JP Hoe playing at Portage and Main at night.
Throwback to me playing the (unsuccessful) #VoteOpen referendum rally with JP Hoe in 2018. It took longer than we had hoped, but Portage and Main is now open! #Winnipeg
Yahoo! The day has arrived!
I looked back at advocacy I and others @greenactioncentre.bsky.social did in 2018 around Vote Open. Take a look back with us, followed by a step forward across Portage and Main!

A wall covered with colourful "Vote Open / Portage and Main / Vote Yes" signs.
Two Vote Open t-shirts (I still have mine!) and a Vote Open sign
A photo of folks hanging out at OpenFest on October 20, 2018 - a great event held within the corner plazas at Portage & Main, which should never have needed to be organized.
I will happy to never go in one of these awful, urine-scented bunker stairwells ever again.
Digging through photos for a project and came across these snaps from the #VoteOpen era.
I can hardly wait for Portage & Main to open up. Less than 2 months now!
What are we doing to celebrate? OpenFest 2.0???

Team #VoteOpen sporting Told-You-So looks, with some eye-rolls. Good on #Winnipeg mayor GIllingham for not doubling down on $73M just to save face (others would have). It's a good day for progress. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
