Is this a full-time gig? I ask only from sheer curiosity.

Coldrsx · #**5425** Posted **Nov 25, 2016, 12:35 AM**

Indeed it is.

Congrats, Ian!

I did a construction photo tour downtown today. I'll post them here soon enough (no time right now), but they are here if you don't want to wait:

Congrats Ian, you should get red hats made that say "Make downtown great again"

Coldrsx · #**5430** Posted **Nov 25, 2016, 3:15 AM**

They are blue and being printed now.

SHOFEAR · #**5431** Posted **Nov 25, 2016, 3:30 AM**

I want one of those hats. It'll match my other one.

So, on a lighter front, isn't Ian now just getting paid for what he used to do before for free?

big W · #**5438** Posted **Nov 25, 2016, 5:02 PM**

Congrats Ian. This is awesome news. Having known you and your passion for downtown you are the right man for the job.

I should also say Congrats to downtown Edmonton as we could not have a better man for downtown Edmonton.

Although it is only part of my two, least favourite blocks in downtown Edmonton, it is definitely the best it has ever looked to me.

CMD UW · #**5440** Posted **Nov 25, 2016, 5:14 PM**

Great photo update. Arena buildings really starting to take shape. We've seen nothing yet though.
