Nice finds!

Small correction: with the recent growth and the latest amalgamation of ''Le Bic'', we are now sitting at 50 000.

Taken about 3 weeks ago.

That's a nice skyline considering the population.

London has taller buildings than all of those cities.

koops65 · #**270** Posted **Sep 11, 2009, 4:20 PM**

And Niagara Falls has taller buildings than London...

Metro-One · #**271** Posted **Sep 11, 2009, 4:37 PM**

That is great they both have taller buildings, but height is only 1 of many factors that makes a skyline interesting or beautiful to me.

And in my opinion the skylines of Victoria, Regina and Halifax are much more impressive and beautiful than that of London or Niagra.

MolsonExport · #**272** Posted **Sep 11, 2009, 4:41 PM**

^I agree. And I currently live in London (but pine somedays for Montreal and Vancouver, former homes)

I wouldn't say Regina has a beautiful skyline... Impressive for a city of its size, but beautiful?

Anyway, here is the not-so-beautiful Iqaluit. pop. 6500

I dont know why, I have always loved the Regina Skyline.

I now live in Regina, but one of the reasons I like Regina's skyline is that it is a good size, and it is pretty glassy.

I know, it's pretty cool. I'd also like to see other cities like Whitehorse and Iqaluit develop a mini skyline.

Metro-One · #**277** Posted **Sep 11, 2009, 6:46 PM**

I really want to go to Yellowknife one day, and snap some pics of my own!

But Iqaluit already does have a (extremely) mini skyline

5 year old pic; I doubt much has changed.

I wonder what it will look like when Harper opens the Ministry of Northern Development? An office bldg and several new homes for the public servants. Their salaries should be good for the economy too.
