In the last episode of Keeping Canada Alive on CBC there's a doctor in Yellowknife that basically lives on a frozen lake. I guess her house is a houseboat. She woke up, walked on the frozen ice and got into her car. I thought that was pretty crazy.

Yellowknife resembles Saskatoon.

Landmark Place deserves its own Ugly Canada Certificate of Achievement.

They're in the middle part of the pic below, on the extreme left side, near the building with the white tower crane (which has now been finished for a while). A couple other buildings have popped up that should be visible in that view from the East (like the red brick one in the middle of the pic below).

Not exactly recent, but this one hasn't been posted before and only one high-rise is missing. Renaissance 2, the twin of the building UC on the right of the pic.

As you wish...

St. Catharines

Peterborough doesn't really have a skyline. Couldn't find any pics. I think the tallest building is like 8 floors.

Ontario and Quebec's ~100K cities mostly don't stand up well to BC's in the skyline department.

What's even worse is that St. Catharines is a city of 130 000 in a metro of over 400 000, while BC's 100 - 200 000 cities are basically just that. Abbotsford being the outlier in the skyline department.

I think the tallest building in downtown Peterborough is actually 16 floors. Peterborough has a modest skyline of maybe half a dozen hi-rises downtown, most of them are residential.

Yeah, but St. Catherine's metro includes Niagara Falls, so they let someone else handle the heigh. Plus I'm sure if you dragged over the highrises scattered about the Niagara Region CMA you'd probably pull together a decent skyline. It's just that the whole thing is a mess of small towns that sort of mesh together, with no real unified downtown or anything.

^ Yup, St. Catharines' "metro" includes 4 distinct cities with their own downtowns.
