A proposal to build a seniors' apartment complex near the site of Louis Riel's family mill has been postponed while developers, Metis Leaders and environmentalists meet.

At a meeting Tuesday a council committee heard from the developer, who hope to build a 165-unit apartment building on a skinny lot on St. Anne's Road that backs onto the Seine River.

Both the Save Our Seine environmental group and the Manitoba Metis Federation have raised concerns that access to a heritage site may be compromised. The Matter will be back before the committee in December.
