One could likely contact City hall and ask any time.

Have you called the planning department lately? It's impossible to get a callback, and to get any useful information once you get a call back is even harder. They've got some issues to fix over at city hall.

Ok but it's the building department. I have not called either lately.

The Regina Pats threw everything they had at the site selection committee for the 2018 Memorial Cup.

Now it’s a waiting game.

The WHL club’s delegation made its pitch on Wednesday at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Toronto — delivering a 45-minute presentation that exceeded the hopes of Pats part-owner Shaun Semple, who served as Regina’s bid chairman.

“I don’t want to overbuild expectations but I was very happy,” offered Semple, proudly representing the CHL’s top-ranked team. “There was no question from the comments made (by the selection committee) that they were very, very impressed with all the components of our bid. (They) said it was one of the best bids they’ve ever seen.”
As Canada’s oldest junior franchise, the Pats are generally regarded as a sentimental favourite over the other two finalists: The OHL’s Hamilton Bulldogs and Oshawa Generals.

The 2018 tournament is expected to be a celebration of the Memorial Cup’s 100-year history — aligned precisely with the Pats’ own centennial anniversary. Regina played in the very first Cup final in 1919.

The team’s bid also emphasized a shared connection to the military as the namesake of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry. The Memorial Cup trophy is dedicated to all Canadian soldiers who’ve died serving their country.

“Of the three presentations, I thought Regina’s was probably the most sentimental and emotional,” said Gord Kirke, the CHL’s legal counsel and chairman of the selection committee. “The film work was an incredible addition because it was very, very professionally handled.

“It was a tremendous presentation and very well considered — including the emotions of it, the psychological aspects of it, the business sense of it, et cetera. It’s very hard to nitpick and say this was lacking or that was lacking. It was just well done.”

The bid includes an outdoor game at New Mosaic.

Awesome! It will have to be a night game as it could be 25 degrees and sunny that time of year. Not good for ice.

Only discretionary uses go to Planning Commish.

The H&M was permitted so council was not involved.

Pretty sure it was more than that. You can't go by building permit figures. Edit: Actually I think you are correct.

If the Brandt Building is $57 million, it will be a pretty awesome 3 storey building, I suspect.

"...will be a Hilton Garden Inn with a projected opening date of - January 2021."

That's the response from Hilton's Facebook. I'm guessing that is the Capital Pointe location? 4 more years?!?!

And the response on Facebook to all the boarded up store fronts and lack of information in the Cornwall Centre...

"Expect exciting announcements to be made soon! There's a lot of work that goes into an announcement this big!......waiting on this exciting new retailer to announce the news first!"

That seems optimistic. It's February now, where's the crane?

Someone told me last night what this was, but honestly, I forget... it was a long night with much discussion about city development, culture, transit, etc.

The Havik building is only abut 7000 SF and the typical H&M store is nearly 20,000, so they will need a lot of that mall space.
