Crumbling Winnipeg warehouse being demolished

Share

Several weeks after being issued a demolition permit, crews have resumed bringing down a crumbling Winnipeg warehouse.

Heavy equipment was seen Friday carefully taking apart the building on McDermot Avenue and transporting debris away.

A demolition permit was issued in July due to the building being structurally unsafe. Those living nearby reported growing cracks in the building and bricks falling.

A stop-work order was issued earlier this month due to the possible presence of asbestos. The city said at the time it was working to ensure it could complete demolition safely.

Video of the demolition can be seen in the space above.
