Viewing DP's daily, it is wild how many DP's there are for daycares. Probably indicative of Edmonton's growth. This is just from September 2025:

It makes good sense to have them close to where people live and fill at least a few more of the still empty commercial spaces.

Edmonton Tower has had a daycare since 2017 I believe.

I spotted this sweet build just off of 90th ave.

Looks like the span is deflecting already? What about when it has a roof, and it snows, or... well... anything?

I feel obligated to narc on this guy? I mean it's visible from the road, and there's no way this is to code?

I know this dude. I asked him if he got a permit and he laughed. Report it to 311 please.

He owns a boat? Oh I'm definitely reporting him

 

[Edmcowboy11]

Well reported or not I'm pretty certain that roof with a full load will collapse sooner than later.

So for convenience in the bathroom we have already determined via "a little help from my friends" that a walk-in tub combined with a shower would reduce area in one bathroom and if there is a second bathroom it could be a so-called half bath (sink + toilet) saving room there. Moving over to kitchen and dining -- we could have counter dining (bar top) and eliminate the dining table (which is inconveniently placed anyway). The bar top would also double as kitchen prep space. If we go for a two-station cooktop we can eliminate the stove (there are a number of small appliances that are for more convenient that a full blown range with oven -- e.g. Hamilton-Beach appliances.) There are built-in options for refrigeration that can compartmentize that appliance -- we want to work to get the kitchen into at least a workable L-shape if not a more preferable Galley-type layout and to pull it away from the entry door.

In short -- these guys have got to try harder.

And here I am trying to make those spaces more functional. Getting rid of the tub is a good start, We are doing a roll in shower. Getting rid of the island in the kitchecn will give us more space to move around.

Hmmm will insurance cover the losses on 100.000.00 after the first snow. Love that its already got a bow.

I mean, it's already had one with Kids & Company in Edmonton Tower.

The rectory next to the Cathedral again. I really hope they do something nice with all the space they have in front.

Do they actually have the money for this one? Or are they gonna be begging the province and city for it, like they did with the failed clubhouse plan?

From the Ski Club's website:

We are grateful to be the recipients of funding from the Government of Canada's Green and Inclusive Community Buildings Program, the City of Edmonton and the Province of Alberta, for a total of $12 million, toward the construction of the new River Valley Outdoor Activity Centre, a year-round, net-zero carbon building.

Apparently!

Our new facility will enable ESC’s community partners, including the Edmonton Folk Music Festival, the Indigenous Sport Council (Alberta), Action For Healthy Communities and Girls in Sport Alberta to offer year-round outdoor sport and culture programming. The new facility will accommodate a range of participants, from those currently facing barriers to Olympic-level athletes.
