History
The shopping centre's developer was James Kelly of Toronto. The centre was built in West Kildonan upon 40 acres of land. Upon construction in 1969–70, at a cost of millions of dollars, a major anchor store was Simpsons-Sears, with 100,000 square feet of space. The initial plan was for 40 stores, and T. Eaton Co. Limited also purchased space in the mall.
A major expansion began in 1974, with a 181,000 square-foot addition. Anchor stores at that time included the Simpson-Sears store and a Dominion supermarket, with plans to add an Eaton's store and a Beaver Lumber. T. Eaton Co. Limited opened an 86,000 square-foot store in August 1976. As of that same year, Garden City was one of the four largest regional malls in the city of Winnipeg.
The Eaton's store closed in 1998, and its space was taken over by a Canadian Tire store.
