1965 – Peguis Pavilion, Kildonan Park, Winnipeg

Fabulous park pavilion complete with external terrace, cantilevered staircase and terrace, alongside an artificial pond. This is 1960s modernism at its finest, with its publicly accessible external spaces, recessed internal areas, and horizontal lines – probably for many visitors to the park on opening, their first real interaction with modernist architecture. Originally called the Kildonan Park Pavilion, it was designed by the local architectural firm of Blankstein Coop Gillmore and Hanna and built between 1965 and 1966 by Malcom Construction at a cost of about $152,000. It was renamed in honour of Chief Peguis in 1970.
