That is high compared to Sky. Condo fees include water and are a bit over 2/3rds the low side above (for a 809 sq ft suite). Adding hydro costs still has it way under $299.

"we'll have some news to share in Q2....of our fiscal century!!"



(I imagine they're talking about Q2 year-wise, and not a fiscal year, so sometime in April)

There's an article in the Uniter this week about 62M. At least 25% of the units will be rentals and they are starting construction in the spring.e

not really construction related but nonetheless very cool, shows the way you can use 420 sq feet of space into a multiuse functioning apartment/condo....highly suggest you take the 5 minutes to watch it

That's some really cool stuff! It reminded of me of something I saw a while back, called the Cube Project, in England. It's a house that's only 10x10x10 ft. As far as the Cube goes it's definitely not how I'd want to live but it's interesting to see how spaces can be used

We'll start building vertical farms when we run out of room for real ones.

All you have to do is convince people to pay $10 for a head of iceberg lettuce.

speaking about decorative lighting recently, the thing that bothers me the most is when the snow plows knock off the decorative bases and then they sit there for five years with the exposed wires hanging out. like with the new market ave. lights, nice bases, but wait til the sidewalk cleaner comes along.... osborne village and in front of union station are glaring examples of this with their ornamental lighting.

Buiding a multilevel green house would be exponentially more expensive to build than a conventional green house.

This really belongs in the Western Expresso. Where is the moderator to keep this place on topic?

Thanks Mr Katz! As a parent of 2 young kids heavily in hockey, this is great news. Garden City is getting 2 rinks and East End 1 more (to add to their current 2). Also, not in article is they City is giving Southdale more $ to reduce their debt when they added a 2nd rink.

One of many reasons contributing to why people don't like snow ploughs. They're really paradoxical in nature. On the one hand they clear the streets (kind of), and on the other hand, they make everyones lives a living hell. They also cause unnecessary infrastructure damage due to carelessness.

I would have rather seen Roland Michener Arena get refurbished. The arenas at EE are only 20 years old and still in good condition. I don't think they need a third indoor rink.

A new "Indoor Trampoline Park" is opening up this fall in the south end (McGillivray & McCreary).
It looks like it'll be a great place to take kids.
