Maple Creek: 21.6C
Swift Current: 16.9C
Moose Jaw: 15.9C
Regina: 6.0C
Broadview: 6.4C
Moosomin: 6.4C

That house wrapping around the tree is incredible. Somehow they didn't kill the tree building it. I still fear it's in trouble.

It helps when you close down Canada's oldest operating airport 2 miles away. We went from 490' being the tallest built/allowed to basically unlimited heights possible with Stantec being 823'... Now if only Alldritt could get its issues resolved we could get our first 280M built....

I meant to post these photos on here last night but I posted them in the wrong thread. I took these photos of Victoria from the top of Mt. Tolmie on Sunday.

What it is right now is what it will be today. -2C. Add in some snow or maybe some freezing rain later.

This is not the weather thread.

That 490 foot table top skyline in Edmonton was the worst. Can't wait for more premium priced 200 plus metre apartments in the sky given how well The Sky Residences have sold
