Hey there, time traveller!

Brandon City Council will consider a rezoning application that would allow for a vehicle dealership to build a new location at its next meeting on Tuesday.
VBJ Developments and Fowler Holdings are requesting the properties at 512, 525, 537 and 559 39th St., along with 902 38th St., be changed from residential single-detached and development reserve zoning to commercial arterial.
If approved, it would allow Fowler Nissan to build a new dealership and move away from its current location at 3620 Victoria Ave.
Fowler acquired the dealership from Birchwood Automotive Group on Jan. 1, 2020.
Council will also consider another rezoning application by VBJ Developments to rezone properties on First Street, Dennis Street, Russell Street and Frederick Street east of Crocus Plains Regional Secondary School that would allow the company to build 142 condominium units.
Rounding out the agenda is a presentation from Nick Brown about Brandon University’s upcoming homecoming celebrations, a report from the city’s committee of the whole and a report from the city’s audit and finance committee.
Ahead of the 7 p.m. regular meeting, council will hold a special meeting regarding a land swap in southeast Brandon as well as funding and a land sale related to the establishment of a sobering centre. In July 2021, the provincial government committed $2 million toward the establishment of a sobering centre in Brandon. In early August, before the pre-election government media blackout, the province reiterated that commitment and pledged to provide the centre with $1.5 million in annual funding for it once open.
The special meeting will be in-camera and closed to the public.
Regular meetings can be attended by the public in person or viewed remotely on the City of Brandon’s YouTube and WCGtv’s online livestream.
