I'm not doubting that he will live up to his commitments, though he does keep moving the goal posts on his vision for Ice District. (And it certainly becomes a lot easier for him to honour them when public money is involved.)

That doesn't change why he continues to act like a man with a Virginia ham under one arm, crying the blues because he has no bread. If he can afford to purchase a residential home in California for $150M, he should also be able to afford to purchase his playground in Edmonton.

It not charity though, he isn't giving money to the city. He is investing and making a profit for himself. Which is fine, as he should, but wish it would stop being phrased as it currently is.

I really don't care about incentives for developers to build things in the city. Realistically that's the only thing that is going to restart Edmonton's downtown. Well that and hopefully the new city council does literally anything to clean up the streets.

I guess this is signage only on the Stantec Tower as CIBC online shows this address: "Relocation alert: This Banking Centre will be relocating to 10348-103 St. NW, Edmonton, AB T5J 0Y9 on January 15th, 2026 at 1:00pm. Services will be available at the new address on January 19th, 2026 at 9:30am.". Next door to the Oilers shop I am guessing.

Welcome to the BANK DISTRICT!

They will entertain you with overpriced mutual funds.

They will entertain you with overpriced mutual funds.

Come for the quarterly promotion; STAY because you’re locked onto your mortgage.

The Bank District: Where investors become champions.

If I'm not mistaken, the only banks that not in the ICE District are Bank of Montreal, ATB Financial and Laurentian.

I believe that is correct, although TD has a second location in City Centre and ATB also has two locations downtown (both not in ICE District - what rebels they are!).

Although, perhaps Laurentian which does not have a branch downtown, can join the bank district party, or as much of a party as it is, M - F from 9 to 5 (not open evenings, weekends or holidays). What a lively area it is.

Possible new CIBC location north of the Oilers store

Servus is now open

There is restaurant space available in the NW corner of Stantec Tower. I'm hoping they can lure in the likes of an Earls or a Keg.
I still want to see an A&W in one of the ground level CRUs in homage to the one that was part of the old Greyhound terminal.

While there are various fast food places in nearby food courts, it would be good to see something you don't have to go into a building to access and something that could have more flexible hours.

It boggles the mind that ICE District is not on the radar of Earls, Keg or some other major chain and the only food and drink places here are bars, a coffee cart and a place in a clothing store.

It would be cool if it was replicated and, in particular, the miniature animatronic band was revived with updated robotics -- me sucking on a Strawberry shake through a candy-cane straw and faux-conducting with a french fry in hand. Imagine if the miniature band was electronically connected to jukebox selectors at each table that were enabled with era-respectful tunes of the fifties, sixties and seventies. I would dust off my Zoot-suit, Panama Hat, bright yellow silk tie, gold watch chain and my black-and-white wing tip shoes ready to doo-wop away the modern-day blues.

I'd take a regular coffee shop of some kind. The cart isn't that great.

Hey now I love Lui Chi's. I agree that a regular non-macro chain coffee shop would be good though.
