Does every city in Canada need one of those signs now?
It's a social media / tourism thing. So yeah, probably.
Also just stumbled across this beauty, featuring 6 of the 8 tallest buildings in Western Canada. The two missing are Suncor West (behind Brookfield) and of course Edmonton's Stantec.
Mohkínstsis — 1.6 million people at the Foothills of the Rocky Mountains, 400 high-rises, a 300-metre SE to NW climb, over 1000 kilometres of pathways, with 20% of the urban area as parkland.

Although let's face it; even the original one was kinda basic and people still seemed to love it so clearly a high ph level isn't a detriment.

Of course waaayyy back, Montreal was the first city in the entire world to come up with this idea of a sign; they built it, though it was lame and gave it to the airport.
One of the best shots that I have ever seen of our Downtown.

no, it's not. But it sure is getting there. That's an amazing shot, looking forward to seeing the dynamic video crown on Stantec and how that will be programmed.
