Malls in Ontario have digital signs with the approximate parking spots left info. This might be useful. Also marked emergency lanes on the property would be smart if that isn’t already done.

Ha! I thought they used an Etch-A-Sketch!

I even re-downloaded google maps on my phone and the quality is still blurry. Oh well.

I’ve noticed this too, it’s definitely not your phone.

Blurry, and because of the time of year, lots of shadows.

Interestingly, you can see the pretty short line of cars for the Covid vaccine at Evraz just south of the Pasqua Hospital.

Any photo updates of the new Sobey’s Liquor on 13th or the 13th and Elphinstone Street new build?

Pretty sure that lineup is for the drive through testing. That photo appears to be from the fall judging by the trees. The drive through testing used to be where the vaccinations are done now. I believe they changed it over the winter when they were preparing for vaccinations.

Yep, definitely an update from the previous, but from 2020. I would love a summer 2021 update.

Cargill to build $350M canola crusher in Regina area

https://thestarphoenix.com/business/agriculture/cargill-to-build-350m-canola-crusher-in-regina-area

https://www.producer.com/news/cargill-announces-canola-crusher-for-regina/

“Meanwhile, Federated Co-operatives Ltd. says it has been shut out of a land deal north of its existing Co-op Refinery Complex in Regina that would have been used to build a $2 billion renewable diesel refinery and canola crush plant.

The land will instead be used for an $800 million development that is rumoured to be yet another canola crush plant to be built by Viterra in the city.

Regina appears to be the most sought after location, but it isn’t the only one in the province.”

CBC mentions Cargill is looking for the best location: Maybe the GTH could finally have some good news?

With the amount of land still available, I wonder if Colliers is already promoting the GTH to Cargill...

Stormer · #**10833** Posted **Apr 23, 2021, 1:41 AM**

Cargill will need a rail line, or even better, both CN and CP access.

There is still 900 acres of land for Federated co-op to build on that is right beside their facility

I don’t believe this was mentioned Sask power is building a $26 million dollar battery storage system in Regina

World's largest canola plant. It's huge.

That's a lot of unit trains. Plus you need hopper cars bringing in the Canola but tankers taking out the oil. They will definitely have a huge rail loop.

I still can't believe that the City is not addressing the rail crossing on Ring Road in their wasteful Winnipeg St. overpass project.

Stormer · #**10840** Posted **Apr 26, 2021, 4:51 PM**

Forget Queen City. We are soon to be Canola City.

I don't know if people know what's going on in the Canola market but prices are a $20+ bushel. Insane. We don't even need oil and potash to have a booming economy, although governments will suffer as they don't get much of a share of Ag revenue.
