June passenger numbers are out. The long Oilers playoff run certainly didn't hurt things but transborder growth really carrying water for the other sectors. Terminal Terminal Traffic: 628,758 passengers (Year-to-date 3,331,217 passengers) 2.5% (Year-to-date 1.5%) Domestic 537,490 passengers...

Part of the important work that needs to be done is retaining the businesses we have. This is a unfortunate bit of news. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/intuit-to-close-edmonton-office-as-global-tech-firm-cuts-1-800-jobs-across-operations-1.7259302

There were surveys done on different design elements of the park, I should look to the results to see how highly rated a water feature of some sort was. I think it was said well about offering something that draws folks to the park. This park has location going for it absolutely and eating up...

I find the identical word interesting. I think most would take identical to mean same height but I wonder if that was the intention above just the general look being the same.

Same for me last week just before noon arrival my golf clubs were out incredibly quick.

Quite the unfortunate news at a time when transborder has seen a lot of good momentum at YEG.

Any sort of fountain being removed is just insanely brutal.

I think they adjusted the model based on the release of Q2 2024 population estimates (as of April 1, 2024) that came out yesterday. Alberta was still really strong (fastest growing) but maybe a little less than they had built in?

Bit of a rebound for the month of May after some slower months. May numbers more impressive (bigger/fuller planes) considering May 2023 had a 7.5% higher average number of daily aircraft movements of 320.7 compared to 296.6 in 2024. Sadly YEG has removed much of the historical data to compare...

Alberta has just surpassed 4.9 million.

Their sales aren't exactly steaming along like we saw with Botanica next-door but their website says over 50% sold which is pretty good. Looks like the units on the river side are the ones selling.

I still question the Twin Brooks station but I don't question the need for the extension. Indeed eventually the LRT and Rail would be complimentary and appreciated at the airport.

100% we won't be sitting on our laurels. At that point it would be demanding service to Asia.

I think any slogan could be made fun of or interpreted how folks wish. The city of champions slogan to me elicits positive thoughts of our great city. Sure some of which are sports teams and with anything success can come and go in that regard. I also think of all the great things people and...

Westjet with some nice frequency increases this summer. I think Ottawa and Montreal were already discussed but some good connection opportunities through YEG will continue to be available from YQR, YLW, & YXE in particular...

Sad to see YEG has removed some of their historical data from the passenger stats portion of their website. https://flyeia.com/corporate/media/passenger-stats/

While Calgary was the winner more recently, I wonder if Edmonton could be picking up steam. "Edmonton was the top choice for current residents of the Greater Toronto and Vancouver areas thinking about a move. Alberta’s capital city was the most attractive and affordable destination for 19 per...

A lot of interesting parallels between Denver/Colorado and Edmonton/Calgary/Alberta. Sounds like Denver is a little further along the curve with population growth now starting to slow. Folks coming from higher cost of living areas on both coasts Losing the housing cost advantages as prices go...

I would love a 30K seat stadium (room to add 5-10k spectators) with a translucent roof to accommodate events all year round. That size also lines up much better with the realities of CFL and although still big would work well for a soccer franchise returning to Edmonton in the CPL. To get what...

I suspect North of Rogers isn't an option if Ice District 2.0 is serious unless OEG buys the Elks and gets the right deal maybe they find benefit some way in doing it there. North of MacEwan was another thought but maybe the university is looking to eventually develop in that direction and this...
