Remembering Paul Haverstock

Heritage Winnipeg is saddened to hear of the passing of Paul Haverstock on Sunday, December 25th, 2022. Paul was a Heritage Winnipeg Board Member who worked with our organization during his tenure at the Fort Garry Hotel, providing exceptional service for our annual spring fundraising events, and later during countless events at the Millennium Centre through his time with WOW Hospitality. Passionate about his work, Paul always ensured Winnipeg’s beautiful heritage buildings were showcased in the best light when putting on events in them. We are grateful for the energy and enthusiasm Paul brought to our organizations, and will forever appreciate the contributions he made toward the conservation and celebration of Winnipeg’s built heritage. Heritage Winnipeg extends our deepest condolences to Paul’s family, friends and colleagues – he will be sincerely missed!
