Back to Northlands, why would you cancel a money-maker (K Daze, though only Ghod knows why)? Seriously, the only reason they have the pimple-crowd thing is that IT MAKES THEM MONEY.

So, throw it away. That's like the nose and face thing.

Seriously, N/Lands needs to look at its mandate, re-think its mission and vision and FOCUS.

This is an organization that has served this community well, but is lost in transition (and an ugly looking hissy fit).

You'd think by now Northlands would be a grown up, but apparently not.

"among the tallest in western Canada?"

Among?

What happened to "the tallest?"

Jasper and one o nin · #**3765** Posted **Aug 4, 2016, 5:10 PM**

It can be the tallest and still be "among" the tallest

I'm hoping for a vista 72

So this is effectively a "we've hit grade level" celebration?

hilman · #**3767** Posted **Aug 4, 2016, 5:59 PM**

^ Yes.

Would have been better if they stuck their faces in that.

My question is, why was the AED Zone amended in May to allow a 275 m tall building?

Hallsy's Toupee · #**3772** Posted **Aug 4, 2016, 7:45 PM**

Now we can put the height debate to bed

If this building grows from 250.0 m to 275.0 m Christmas will come early for me.

But alas I just dont see this happening for many reasons.

Only on Fantasy Island will this happen.

Boss.....the building, the building is getting taller!
