This one building bringing 176 units where the entire Midfield trailer park held about the same amount of trailers. Impressive density gains!

Absolutely. Alberta as a whole could host the winter Olympics without much infrastructure needing to be built. Ceremonies at Commonwealth, skiing at Winsport, the Nordic Centre, and Lake Louise, hockey games split between Scotia Place and Rogers Arena, maybe Curling at Centrium in Red Deer...

From the past day at a rare angle. Do my eyes deceive me, or are there now two roof trusses up?

Site today from a more unique angle.

Westjet doesn't have a shortage of Q400 dash 8 aircraft (particularly since ending Encore operations in Ontario and the Maritimes), so metal isn't the issue. They run flights from these smaller cities in the morning and return in the early afternoon to sit the rest of the day and overnight if...

I just booked a $46 flight between Medicine Hat and Calgary, and now I hear they're cancelling flights to the Hat and Lethbridge a few weeks after my spontaneous trip. Ultimately: Westjet has terrible timing of their flights to these cities...if your destination is Lethbridge or the Hat, your...

I'd be interested in some fifth freedom flights. Calgary-Taipei-Hong Kong. Calgary-Manila-Bangkok or Singapore. Calgary-Europe-Delhi (Copenhagen, Rome, Athens, Zurich), Calgary-Quito/Lima-Buenos Aires. For direct flights (minus the 737 European destinations out of Halifax that will likely...

I'd be surprised if they're still sitting around. I believe C-FLWH was relocated from San Antonio to Seattle in 2023 to go to someone else, but I don't have a FlightRadar24 account to verify, and information on this frame (and the other one that I'm having trouble finding the tail for) is hard...

Medellin or Bogota would be amazing destinations, but when I think of the Calgary Zoo in recent years, I think of Siku the polar bear. Churchill Manitoba perhaps? It's fairly unconnected currently and a huge tourism hotbed to see polar bears. Along those lines, maybe Nuuk for an alternative?

2025 was the first EVER year the Stamps had a game around Stampede. In modern times, they've always been both away and on bye during these two weekends (season ticket holder approaching a decade). Adding an extra week for an away game wouldn't be an insurmountable issue. Could open...

Two big issues if I understand correctly: 1. Chestermere isn't trying to get more Max Purple service than their current 2 round trips per week day. 2. Calgary Transit's fleet aren't certified/licensed to operate on highways outside of Calgary. They were able to make the Chestermere service work...

My only concern with more "growth" is that it's car oriented growth. I hope this comes with a robust regional public transportation option like a half hourly bus connecting Calgary-Chestermere-De Havilland Field-Strathmore. For the Calgary stop, perhaps Whitehorn Station? ...with direct...

A lot of the admin and team store could probably be based in Scotia Place, and maybe even the weight rooms. They need 2 locker rooms minimum, and room for the grounds crew/operations...things that could be easily housed in a new infield grandstand, maybe 8-10k seats...something minimal like the...

Sorry for resurrecting this off-topic, but I like that idea, and I'm a Stamps season ticket holder that lives a 10 minute bike or 35 minute walk away from McMahon. The Stampeders at the Stampede Grandstand could work well. CSEC would probably like to bring the games closer to Scotia Place...
