^The difference between the Terwillegar, Commonwealth and the Abbotsfield RC's is the programming of the facilities. Terwillegar and Commonwealth were planned to become more of a regional draw versus Abbotsfield which is geared towards serving the immediate community. It has nothing to do with catering to one part of town versus the other.

So which tower was shot at on Friday morning? The police and news reports only said 101 St and 104 Ave, which means either Bell or EPCOR.

Noticed while walking the dogs through the university area today that there are two tower cranes up for that health & wellness centre next to the Butterdome

It was just a flesh wound and the tower is expected to make a full recouvery. The tower was not know to police and does not live a ricky life style.

does anybody know of some sort of program that recognizes building maintenance people who do an exceptional job in keeping the exterior of their building and surrounding area clean?
