  • 1. Old Market Square Winnipeg
    The Old Market Autonomous Zone, or A-Zone, was founded in 1995, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada by local activists Paul Burrows and Sandra Drosdowech, who also co-founded Winnipeg's Mondragon Bookstore. Its name is derived from Old Market Square, the historic Exchange District in Winnipeg's downtown core area, combined with Hakim Bey's notion of a Temporary Autonomous Zone . The Winnipeg A-Zone occupies a three-story building, originally built in 1899 and known as the Imperial Dry Goods Building. Like many buildings in the area, it is classified as a heritage building by the City of Winnipeg. Since 1995, the building has been known locally as both the A-Zone, and sometimes the Emma Goldman Building.
