It'll be interesting to see how much Lynx's absence affects numbers. But I think this summer will be our busiest ever, i'm expecting July and August to be both over 2 million. I'll be starting my first airline pilot job in Alberta this summer, hopefully I can't contribute to the numbers! 😁

I think they said it would be about $50 million for the station itself.

RNDSQR project looks great, mix of timeless and modern design.

Mag Pie was all I cared about 😄 New renders are a slight bump from the last imo. If this goes ahead here, we should start to get a nice little canyon along 4th Street.

NE corner would be this guy here, not sure about SW

Didn't they just do rehab like 3 years ago?

My hotel wish list for the river district is minimum 2. A more luxury option for teams to stay in, and a more affordable option. One on the SW corner of 12th and Olympic, and another one somewhere alone 12th Ave north of event centre. Also some things that I believe would bring a more...

There would likely need to be consultation with the airport as they'll have to temporarily move the extended centreline lights for the runway since they are literally right next the road, likely easier said than done.

Imagine the Saddledome's last game being a Team Canada World Juniors gold medal! 😄

Alberta is set to host the 2027 World Juniors, however it doesn't mention if it will be in Calgary or Edmonton (maybe both?). However a tournament in December 2026-early 2027 could likely coincide with the hopeful completion of the new event centre...

Im actually impressed with the renders for the conversion, No random rectangles, they're keeping the arches, its keeping a good amount of the mid-century look.

The Flames themselves bring in a revenue of ~183 million with and operating profit of somewhere around 11 million IIRC, I don’t know about the rest of CSEC.

Also, YYC January 2024 stats are out, however slightly below 2019 stats: Domestic: 853,940 [+5.0%] Transborder: 265,893 [+19.4%] International: 199,870 [+5.1%] January 2024 Total: 1,319,703 +7.63% Domestic is our laggard, TB has a difference of ~40 PAX and International is our biggest gainer.

I always love the discussion of naming the airport after someone, as I think we should. If were shooting for Prime Ministers do far we have Stephan Harper, and R.B. Bennet, if im being honest Calgary-Harper International has a nice ring to it. Poilievre is looking like he will win the next...

From reddit: u/theavrocanadian & u/mibeatr The original plane for Shaganappi over the river... I think we dodged a bullet here, I'd take Edworthy over this any day.

i’m onboard for anything that will block out vantage point….

Swoop aircraft are being used by WS on mainline now, even with the Swoop livery, I don't thing Sunwing is being used. NFLND is a huge tourism draw, especially in the summer. If WS has scheduled the flight they have likely put a good amount of research into understanding if there will be demand...
