Route 165, officially called Abinojii Mikanah (Children's Road in Ojibway), is a highway in Winnipeg, Manitoba. It is also known by its former name Bishop Grandin Boulevard, though it was officially renamed in March 2023.

Contents

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]

History

Abinojii Mikanah 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 bore 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." [4]
