This is the first new industrial park inside the city limits in over a decade.

Excluding the GTH of course

Wasn't the GTH developed outside city limits and then annexed in?

In the same vain, aren't almost all the industrial parks in the region in the RMs and not in the actual towns (White City, Pilot Butte, Balgonie?))

There is so much industrial land in the RM north of Regina by Ipsco.

City of Regina, province sign servicing agreement
Progress continues on Harbour Landing school project.

The joint-use school facility is set to accommodate up to 500 Regina Public and up to 350 Regina Catholic students, and has plans to include a child care centre. The design phase of the project is well underway, with a focus on creating a modern learning environment that meets the educational needs of students.

I believe the current public/catholic schools in Harbour Landing are currently at 1,000 and 750 students, respectively. And that is after maxing out their portable space and already removing some of Harbour Landing from the boundaries (meaning in reality there are many more students in that area).

The new schools will be welcome...but by the time they are built (2026/27, I would assume) they are likely going to be maxed out as well. And that's assuming Harbour Landing West neighbourhood doesn't start.

Growth of Harbour Landing has slowed considerably. About 5 years ago they seemed to be prepping for expansion near Gordon Road but I think the city put the kibosh on that preferring to expand from the north as it would be cheaper to incrementally roll out utilities than having to lay a long trunk all the way down Campbell. I think in the end the city may finally cave to developers on that. The lots closest to the airport have been taking the longest to built out so the developers certainly don't want a whole bunch more of them.

Noticed over the weekend that the former Costco has come to life as Olympic Auto Group.

It appear that this site includes the Subaru dealership and Olympic Recreation. It even has a restaurant. Regina-owned Olympic has expanded rapidly in recent years and now has numerous dealerships in 5 provinces.

Crazy how many of western Canada's largest dealer networks are out of Regina, at least originally.

Same company as Auto Gallery too.

Good Evening Regina!

I wanted to put this on all you urbanites an upcoming Community Information Open House!

Arwel Living has partnered with the Anglican Diocese of Qu'Appelle to redevelop St Matthews Church located at the corner of Winnipeg St & 14th Ave.

We will be hosting a NON City Community Information Open Housing on Wednesday February 7th 2024 from 4:30 to 6:30 PM. Members of Arwel, the Diocese, and 1080 Architecture will be on site to share our collective vision for the re-development of the former Church which has been condemned and Heritage Status removed in March of 2023 due to the condition of the structure into a Intergenerational Mixed Socio Economic Living and Commercial Re-Development. Some of the more historical elements of the existing church will be incorporated into the new design and concepts we've been working diligently on!

For more information please reach out to [email protected] and to stay up to date visit stmatthewsyqr on Instagram!

Sounds like a really exciting and interesting development. I look forward to seeing it!

I finally got a chance to see the new Les Sherman park LED lighting. It is much better than the old lights, but also a very poor execution of LED lighting. Particularly compared with how good the LED lighting is in Wascana Park.

https://imgur.com/a/stAnBbD

The Wascana Park lighting was clearly engineered by a company that knew what it was doing. The fixtures they picked light the ground very well without seeming very bright. There is a dimming between light poles, but not complete darkness. The light from LEDs covers a very well defined area. Manufacturers have specs for all their products. You pick a product to get the coverage you need based on pole height and spacing.

I think the city skipped that for the Les Sherman Park lights. The lights are super bright, subjectively I'd say 3-4x as bright as the Wascana Park lights, and there are totally dark spots between the lights as the lights don't appear to have a very good lateral throw. I wonder if they just picked the exact same fixture as the Pilot Butte Creek Pathway lighting project, those lights are mounted on much taller poles.

Also bizarrely they picked a 5000K light. Early LED adopters picked 5000K and it was universally hated. SaskPower picked 3000K for the streetlights as did Wascana Park for their path light.

The city is going to need to do a much better job if they are planning to start swapping out the rest of the old path lights in the city. I'll send my observations to them in hopes they don't blow a ton of money doing a half assed job in the other parks.

100% agree. I use this park a lot and while the upgrade is appreciated it is definitely poorly designed and executed.

I was out at the GTH for the first time in a month. It looks like Emterra isn't processing the collected recycling. No sound of machinery and big snow covered piles of unprocessed material.

Is that the recycling collected from the city?

LOL how much ends up in the landfill? Explains why the City and Emterra don't care that so many people throw garbage in their blue bins.

Has the City ever audited where this stuff goes. I would not be surprised if the plastic and glass are not recycled at all. Glass should go to the landfill anyway, as it is completely inert and all other solutions waste energy and are worse for the environment.

Does anyone know if the City charges Emterra to use the landfill or can they just dump recycling for free.

Not a great sign.
