And I see there is already a vape shop in the quality existing building that is across from the school now. They'd rather have that kind of business across from the school. Good one Cathedral.

In two weeks, construction is set to begin on first phase of the Saulteaux Crossing Business Park signalling a new era for Sakimay First Nations.

A ground-breaking ceremony took place Thursday at the site of what is to be a new Esso, Tim Hortons and a yet-to-be named restaurant that will replace the Saulteaux Junction gas bar located at the intersection of Dewdney Avenue and Pinkie Road.

Chief Lynn Acoose said it’s great to finally move forward with its plans to develop the 260 acres of land it owns Dewdney Avenue West.

Four Horse Developments, the business arm of Sakimay, has partnered with Alberta-based ATCO Sustainable Communities Inc. for the project.

“It’s a really proud day for Sakimay and its members,” said Acoose. “It’s also a great day for the City of Regina and the RM of Sherwood.”

The land is located in the RM of Sherwood, which meant new partnerships and historic agreements had to be signed before the land could be developed.

“It’s been a hard road to get to this point,” said Acoose. “It’s only through peace and friendship that we can succeed. It’s only through peace and friendship that our people can grow together.”

CEO of Four Horse Developments Pat Fiacco said it took a lot of patience to reach Phase 1 of the development.

Development of the first 40 acres is set to start on Aug. 1 and is expected to be completed by the end of the year.

Plans to redevelop the site of the Saulteaux Junction gas bar will take place once the new gas station is complete.

“This land is great,” said Fiacco. “I am not sure if they knew at the time, but it really is strategically placed in between the Global Transportation Hub and Westerra.”

When the business park is complete it is to include a hotel, office buildings and possibly a convention/conference centre.

Fiacco said it was steep learning curve working with four levels of government on this project including the federal government.

“I don’t believe the Indian Act was ever meant to focus on economic development and that needs to change,” he said.

Since things are pretty quiet here lately, how about that house going up in Harrington Mews!

It's making the very large home next to it look tiny in comparison.

There's no way this is all based on fire insurance money, is it? I'm assuming the home owners are chipping in some bucks themselves to create this castle.

No progress at 13 Leopold last I looked. Just a fenced off demolition. I hope that lot doesn't sit for a long with with a mess of debris.

It's pretty tall, but the house it replaced while smaller in massing was quite sizable already.

Great shot, deserves to be on the main thread!

The mall development is an odd one. Who is out there to be an anchor tenant for that?

Good breakdown of 13th and Elphinstone arguments on Shawn Frasers's pre- council meeting breakdown.

For sure a major grocery store chain. I would not call it a mall. It is a large neighbourhood shopping centre.

That is a very high income area. Very attractive to retailers.

It's a Sobeys. They're opening up three stores in the Regina area in the next year. One in the Greens, one in White City, and one in Harbor Landing.

I believe its Emerald Park rather than White City? I believe it is near the Shoppers Drug Mart. Did that Shoppers ever open?

From the local paper last year:

The [SDM] store will not have a large grocery

area to provide “enhanced food offerings” as

presented in some of the recently revamped

Regina stores.

“But they will offer an enhanced convenience

and essentials section,” she said and

indicated more details about the store will

be coming as the opening draws closer.

Gogas had no information about delays

and said the company is aware that a

Sobeys/IGA is opening up behind their new

location.
