There is a big press conference on Monday, but I don't know if it's related to School of Business or not. Maybe they have all their funding in place?

Must be an official presser on Monday with dignitaries on hand

Drove by the site today. It looks like its ready for ground breaking. Wouldn't be surprised if that's what happens on Monday

Danny is at Mckewan today to announce some money, so probably for the business school. I believe this still has not been awarded.

Any Dani Dollars spent in Edmonton is a major plus. I really have to credit the leadership of MacEwan, for a school that only became an accredited university less than 15 years ago, they've been quickly transforming into an undergraduate juggernaut. I know their business school gained a lot of traction with a lot of great students given their direct admission scheme verses the U of A (and I think U of C as well) required pre-professional year--which is almost why I think the U of A finally changed to direct entry.

Yes I can confirm Smith will be there and there will be some funding announcements.

Besides the Business school bucks what else will her Worshipfullness be announcing today for YEG? Might as well make her monthly visits to the provincial capital worth her while…..

She'll announce Funding decreases at the Uof A. because Universities are not where the money is now. To Much Science.

Maybe a funding announcement on the Northlands demolition? I can only hope.

You darn tootin’ that’d be nice! Since the Saddledump has “officially” been designated as a Provincial wrecking ball expense!

They're waiting on a back bencher's nephew to start a concrete recycling front business before allocating funding. Can't let a good grift opportunity go to waste.

I assume this is the "announcement?" This particular post doesn't detail the bucks other than "72M for AB." Or is this group enroute to MacEwan with Her Worshipfulness in tow for 2nd announcement?
