Route 165, named Abinojii Mikanah, is a highway in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Currently the route is an at-grade expressway running from an interchange with Kenaston Boulevard (Route 90) to Lagimodiere Boulevard (PTH 59 / Route 20). The route runs through the districts of Fort Garry, St. Vital, and St. Boniface.
The speed limit along the route is 80 km/h (50 mph). [2]
Abinojii Mikanah (originally Bishop Grandin Boulevard) first opened to traffic from Lagimodiere Boulevard (PTH 59 / Route 20) to Pembina Highway (Route 42) in 1978, with a westerly extension to Route 80 (Waverley Street) opening in 1990, as well as a second expansion in 1998 expanding from waverley to Route 90. [2]
In the wake of the 2021 discovery of unmarked burial sites at the former Kamloops Indian Residential School in BC, there were calls to change the name of the roadway, which bears the name of Vital-Justin Grandin—thought to be one of the architects of the residential school system. [3] On March 23, 2023, Winnipeg city council voted unanimously to change the name of the street to Abinojii Mikanah (Children's Road in Ojibway, one of the local First Nations languages), "to represent residential school survivors and the journey to find the children who never returned home." Though council voted to approve the name change in March 2023, the change was not expected to take effect until 2024 at the earliest.
On April 26, 2024, it was announced that bylaws pertaining to the rename had received second and third readings at city council. Having completed this step the city will now register the new name with the land titles office. Signage will be updated with the new name throughout May and June 2024. Winnipeg Transit will update the name on its maps and schedules on June 16th. [4]
From west to east: [5] The entire route is in Winnipeg.
