Those buckets have been under downspouts in yards across Calgary since the water ban over a month ago. Thankfully we no longer have indoor restrictions but outdoor watering is still restricted. My in-laws have a dozen of them to keep up the garden.
Not sure what’s going on in that picture though.
It appears to be excavation for foundation work, for some kind of renovation. I've never seen so many buckets, but I guess you can't have too many, and they can have many purposes.

One of those purposes being very dark. Several years ago a guy in Muskoka murdered his girlfriend/baby mama and dismembered her, putting the parts in those buckets. Then he stored the buckets at the work site where he was doing construction. Then the cottager discovered the buckets under the house if memory serves.
I was in Smiths Falls on the other side of the Rideau and was observing this building. I thought it looked interesting. And out of place given its riverfront location. First pic is what you'd find if you googled it. Some nice camera work and editing. In person, it does not look anywhere as vibrant.
I drove to the other side to satisfy my curiosity and noticed it's a hotel. And a very depressing one at that. I was wondering if it was an apartment at one point or if this style was pretty standard for that era of hotel architecture. Would want to see something better looking if it's going to be right beside the river.
Second pic shows my POV. Third is the surrounding parking lot. Last pics are what it looked like in 2013.
On my recent trip through Eastern Ontario, of the 35 or so cities and towns that I visited, Cornwall was the only one I couldn't wait to get out of. Some real doozies there. Though, some interesting and nice architecture too.
That one with wall to wall windows doesn't look like it belongs in Canada to me. Can't quite place the country I think it belongs in, but it does belong in a horror movie regardless.
