The Great Canadian Skyline thread for CMAs 1 million and under - Page 245

The evolving skyline of downtown Moncton:

This photo is taken from the riverfront trail in Riverview, with the Petitcodiac River and Riverfront Park in Moncton in the foreground.

In 5-6 years time, you can add in:

- the Third Sister (15 storeys)
- One Foundry (20+ storeys)
- Ashford/Downing tower (20+ storeys)
- St. Bernard Square (20+ storeys)

And this doesn't even include the soon to be constructed Infinity (30 storeys) which will be out of this field of view to the east.

The skyline of Moncton is about to become very different..............

London is already building higher - new tallest is u/c and 40 floors. Several other towers u/c and going before council is a 53 + 43 floor proposal at the forks of the thames and is 175 metres. That's pretty tall for a metro of about 500K.

^ Nice shot. What's the round building?

Echoes · #**4886** Posted **Jul 25, 2023, 10:08 PM**

That entire block is The Banks mixed-use development, with main floor commercial and residential condos on the upper floors. So far it's the only private sector development on the Riversdale side of the River Landing redevelopment scheme. You can spot the remaining parcels that are still to be offered up for development - hopefully soon.

Downtown Charlottetown skyline from Fort Edward Battery in Victoria Park. Photo taken today by yours truly.

Driving around downtown London the other day, I was struck by the "abandon all hope" atmosphere of the place. Meanwhile, over in Kitchener with its pokey downtown with none of London's advantages, the feeling is more "rough, but improving". Not sure why.

Thanks for sharing.

Please don't take this the wrong way ( although I guess it will come across as me being a dink ) ...
Ive seen many pics of Rimouski on here over the last 6 years and I'm still trying to understand why. NOTHING in Rimouski has changed in how long? Its the exact same basic image shown over and over again for some reason. If I didn't know it was posted by someone I would almost think its spam.
Maybe wait for something ... anything, to change before posting the same image again. Every city shown here has an advancing skyline and some sense of change thats all...

MonctonRad · #**4892** Posted **Aug 12, 2023, 6:51 PM**

Tone hasn't posted any new pictures of Rimouski since May. I'm not sure why you're bringing this up now. It's not as if he's flooding the page with useless images.

Tone is just proud of his city (as most of us are). Many smaller cities have skylines that change at a glacial pace compared to Toronto or Vancouver. Cut him a break.

Hawrylyshyn · #**4893** Posted **Aug 12, 2023, 8:05 PM**

I agree, I haven't seen a Rimouski shot in a while. It would actually be nice to get one soon!

Even if there aren't significant changes, I personally e joy seeing shots of different cities. Especially when it is smaller/less common cities, such as Rimouski. It's a nice break from the usual "Toronto/Vancouver/Montreal/Calgary/Edmonton/KW - repeat"

RHINO · #**4894** Posted **Aug 12, 2023, 8:09 PM**

I agree it is nice to see cities, out side of the biggest in the nation but going through these images all at once they seem to all look the same thats all.

not a dink... i think people just get offended too easily.. heck, i've been guilty of that myself.
I often think the same thing with the Rimouski pics.. don't get me wrong.. it's nice to see pics of different cities.. but to your point.. they're almost always the same... I tend to agree with you.
I think the reason most of us log on is to see the "change" in cities.. without that factor I don't think most of us would bother with the site to be fair.

Find me a new different angle of a city that perhaps isn't going through change, and then by all means.

ps... if you're from Rimouski and seeing this.. I am by no means slagging your beautiful city.

Rimouski, the rightful capital of the Gaspe. You guys should separate from Quebec and become your own province. Take the Magdalen Islands while you're at it.

I can’t wait to start my own spamming of Rimouski pics.

I'm afraid to admit I drove PAST Rimouski about 20 years ago... we took the south shore route as far as Mont Joli on the way to New Brunswick (where we camped for a very windy night outside of Caraquet before driving down the coast to Shediac the next day, and then into PEI and Nova Scotia for a few days)

Next driving trip I make to Atlantic Canada will include more stops, as well as a tour around the Gaspésie! (I've seen so many great photos and a few driving videos of it all on this site)

Going there for French immersion?
It's a great mid-sized city with fantastic natural surroundings! My fave is Parc national du Bic.
