Most of those cultivars come from our east and are marketed as more prairie hardy varieties. Based on the US plant hardiness system, last year was the first sub zone 4 winter we have had in over 10 years. We've even had a few 5b winters. Our growing zone is comfortably a 4b at this point I would...

I've definitely noticed more varieties of trees and plants around in recent years.

I think Chinooks are more a problem in early spring. I'm pretty sure dormancy is regulated by sunlight so they wouldn't wake up during December-february. But a week of 20 degree days above zero in late March followed by -10 days is havock

The UCP risks stepping in it if they have truly foreclosed on a grade separated line through downtown. There have already been studies that have shown that a mainly cut and cover tunnel is the most viable way to get through downtown given the CP tracks, 7th Ave transit line, traffic congestion...

The dust has settled and this government remains as petty and vindictive as ever. The thought of another surface line through downtown is just absurd. We are nearing 60,000 people living downtown and another 100,000+ working. We don't need another surface line and 7th Ave is already maxed out...

As someone who has fished the Bow for decades, that red roofed home is a bit of landmark when floating and always felt way outside the city. Even five years ago the Deerfoot extension was the end of city. Kind of sad so much of the Bow Valley is being developed.

This is the only modern arena design for a 18k+ seat arena that doesn't come across as imposing and monolithic from ground level. The design is a little busy but it manages to have nice scale at street level while still being a functional NHL arena.

So is the inverted bowl design back in play?

Jesus, just leave that block alone and develop one of the used car lots.

It looks like a demolition permit was issued in January, so maybe there is some traction on this site. Though, I don't know if the multi tower BP permit from years back is still valid to allow for construction to start right away. Maybe @MichaelS could weigh in.

The brochure looks to be years out of date from when Grosvenor owned it so who knows what's going on.

It's not that bad

What were they doing?

It’s really no different though. Both involve texts that outline vague propositions that need to be interpreted in order to determine what specific rights and procedural obligations are contained within the Charter and s.35. It has been SCC decisions that have expanded the meaning and substance...

They are not supposed to be equal, they are supposed to act within their constitutional authority and no more. The same goes with state legislatures and division of powers between the state and federal governments. The Supreme Court's role, when it comes to rights or federalism questions, is to...

The other thing to add is that a good portion of inner city residential areas not coloured orange that you see on that map are still zoned for low density, semi-detatched R-2 and R-C2. This is not that big of an improvement over single family zoning, especially with how small households are...

Being a skyscraper nerd is a dangerous hobby!

Not wrong at all- they're native to northern Alberta but have been spreading throughout the province the last few decades according to the articles I've read. Hopefully they don't impact trout fisheries.

Crawfish are definitely not native to the Bow River watershed and should be reported to the provincial government alongside where you found them. They are very invasive and it's concerning you found as many as you did in the Elbow. On the other hand, gumbo anyone?
