That's because they are measuring the time in bureaucrat days, which are approximately 2.7182 days long.

Agreeed! Simply beautiful... or on the contrary, intricately beautiful!

There is something about these lines that I love. They are a lot more defined, and they are far more slicker than I thought. Now that the glass is in completely, there is now a feel for how it will look! And I actually think it looks gorgeous now that it is closer to completion. I was skeptical when they first put the glass in, but now it looks gorgeous!

does anyone have any information regarding any of the exhibits they will have within the museum? I would love to see some stuff regarding the general strike and canadian labor movement in there. Some fascinating local history would be a nice touch.

Khmer Rouge exhibits and the Warsaw Pact would be nice as well

That little black line in the glass, a tiny gap (between the 9th and 10th column of glasses), bugs me whenever I look at it.

But yes it still looks really nice.

So I'm guessing that exterior work should be complete by... late summer?

We need some people in those images for scale (for all of us watching from other provinces). Looking good Peg City!

I was driving in on Fermor today from outside the city and you could see the peak from out there. It is impressively large. Easily seen from any over pass in the cities east side.

Wow that is awesome to hear I'm definitely coming to visit Winnipeg (for my first time) once the CMHR and the Assiniboine Zoo arctic exhibit are done
