It most definitely is not. SAIT is close enough to Kensington to go there for lunch breaks of course. The school, as you saw on Google Maps, is a 2 kilometer walk from the western edge of the downtown core (which is a pretty shitty area), 3 km walk from Eau Claire, and 3.5 km from the western (closest) end of Stephen Ave.
So no.
And yes, thousands of students live on the SAIT campus.

Oh okay, well that's good to know. I'll have to check it out next time I'm there. When I move back to Ontario next year my plan is to spend the summer travelling the whole province as much as I can. Get myself reacquainted with the place after a decade away.

Zibi started out slow, but it's picked up over the last year. Two new condo buildings are now complete, along with two heritage structures fully rehabilitated. I believe two apartment buildings and two office buildings are now u/c.
Off the top of my head, 8 towers are u/c in Centretown.
Calgary is outpacing Ottawa in development, but we're doing well.

Oh yeah, totally. I've been impressed with your updates on Zibi. I also am in love with the concept of the neighbourhood, much cooler than East Village, since it's on an island. To be fair to EV though, it did include the $50 million revitalization of an island into a stunning natural park. Are there many heritage buildings left on Zibi Island? Every historic building in EV has been restored, but there are only 4
