Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

City council this week was a little more laid back, a little more informal.

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

It’s been a while since we’ve had an orientation, or workshop, meeting of city council, so what have we got here? In a word: “Construction”. You probably know that old joke about how there are only two seasons in Canada, and as we now wallow in the depths of winter, city council will start looking to that other season, and there’s going to be a lot of it in the months and years to come.

Published on by Adam A. DonaldsonLeave a comment

After 20 years of fits and starts, approvals and renegings, several different proposals and at least three business cases, the ground was finally broken for the new main library project, which is at the heart of the Baker District Redevelopment. On the recently cleared ground of what was once the Baker Street parking lot, councillors, City senior leadership, and library board and staff members stuck their ceremonial shovels in the ground to start the project. For real. Continue reading “Pigs Fly! Ground is Finally Broken on New Main Library (and the Rest of the Baker Project)” →
