Haven't flown flair in a while, but I see posts on Reddit of huge lineup at the check-in counters. Are they charging for digital boarding passes? Or is it to measure/weigh carry-on bags? With the new basic tickets, Flair's cost advantage is pretty small. And a friend recently flew...

Surprised they can't fill a 787-9 on that route. After already cutting Frankfurt a few years back. While competition is good, I do have to admit WJ's long haul international pricing is still very competitive. Looking at YVR, or similar airports to YYC in the US (i.e. SLC which is a mid-size city...

I guess for a $75M donation that makes sense. Always good to have some private donations but I feel like everything in the city is sponsored. TD zone, Glenbow, Cancer Centre, Arts Commons. Maybe next we'll rename city hall the "Truman Centre for Municipal Affairs"

Would love to see those renders built. But if the business case doesn’t work for tower 3, how is it going to work for a 4 tower block?

As part of the project, they’ve widened both the E and W sidewalks on 18th street on the North side. This is great as that’s a popular route to the school nearby and had a number of collisions in the past. And I think this is the first permanent infrastructure for the Kensington lane reduction...

Even the BLVD to its West has another phase supposedly, no?

I sit just me or it looks very 90s cartoon. And how did they remake a logo without any nod to the streetcar that used to run there.

Is this the name for the new building only? Like Jack Singer? Or is the whole complex being renamed?

Having read the report, the part on the Alberta government was pretty small and there were a lot of points of improvement for the municipality and Parks Canada. Not a good look to take the bait then blame a burned down community.

Are they going to relocate the store to the ground floor of the building? Any plans for the space occupied by the existing store?

From the wiki about McMahon: The university acquired complete ownership of the stadium and land in 1985 after the original financing was retired (1973) and a land exchange agreement was signed with the City of Calgary.

This one isn't really comparable. It's just bleachers with a stage. A lot of the costs of facilities isn't the seats alone. There's not even permanent washrooms, all porta potties. And no field, which means none of the infrastructure associated with it like drainage, watering systems, etc. I...

It'll need to be mixed/multi-use for sure. Something smaller that can host football, soccer, and concerts. Not very fancy, just simple and functional. A bit like BMO Field in Toronto.

The most likely is probably MLS, but even then, US/Canada wealth gap is pretty far apart now that we probably won't see a Canadian expansion of any North American sports team (other than the PWHL) in a long long time.

Is it just me or is McLeod the new destination for every US fast food chain.

They also have to work with the budget of the developer. That's why we get amazing renderings for architecture competitions, but when it actually needs to get built, the bespoke floating ceiling feature has to be removed because it's extremely expensive or hard to clean. Cidex is obviously...

Unfortunately stadiums are a tough sell these days. Last one built was Mosaic about 10 years ago and most are in secondary cities where there's more government subsides to attract investment - Regina, Hamilton, Winnipeg, are the only ones built post 2010. BMO Field is only 28,000 in Toronto. Not...

This one is fully concrete right? Not concrete base, wood on top?

The "Bistro" on the ground floor is being applied for a change of use to an office. I assume by this they're in the process of signing a tenant. https://dmap.calgary.ca/?p=DP2025-03790

And a 226 unit building just opened not far from this site. 19+2 opened a few years back. Another development south of that, West Nineteenth, had almost zero community opposition. Though I'm not sure if the developer still wants to build it. Again, there will be people that have concerns with...
