So much better without the hoarding! Will make Stantec podium more attractive to potential tenants.

In regards to scaffolding coming down... I assume the issues with falling glass got resolved?

 

[Clearshades]

I would hope so unless you've witnessed shattered dreams splattered on the sidewalk and street.

 

[Greenspace]

My guess is it's not fixed but an engineer has certified that the risk of falling glass in minimal...

 

[barhonda]

Minimal is not acceptable.... risk should be zero before the scaffolding is removed in my opinion.

 

[IanO]

You can never design for or plan to zero risk.

I am sure enough folks around the table have come together to determine this corrective work is satisfactory and so let's move forward.

Being able to run downstairs and not have to go outside to get groceries is a pretty special amenity.

Canadian Icehouse: fairly busy for a non-hockey night. The TVs were broadcasting NFL and poker.
Banquet: not quite as busy as Icehouse but still had some full tables
Loblaws: a few shoppers but fairly quiet

In my opinion, this is the best skating rink in Canada!

In my opinion, this is the best skating rink in Canada!

I haven't been yet, but I agree. It looks shockingly nice. Wow.

 

[Canadian 001]

So now that the podium has been completed and is now filling up with Retail
Does anyone have some updates or news about the Office Tower

I noticed that the other night when attending the Vegas game. I liked how active this space is becoming. It took awhile and a little longer when you throw in a pandemic but it's coming along now.

 

[Avenuer]

Was there last night for a skate and it was great to see people out enjoying the ice on a dark, windy and cold Sunday night. The light setup they have there is well done and great for photos.
