The last few projects in Garneau and some in dt, too. Will Windsor Park and McKernan be joining that list?

I've been to Winnipeg a couple times in the last few months and my honest take away from spending time there is that their architecture blows Edmonton's out of the water. I'm also not even talking about old stuff which they do better, it seems like all of their new 6-12 story apartments have a way better more unique finish to them compared to here where everything is very generic and in lots of cases pretty cheap looking.

The old stuff does not surprise me. Sadly, we do not have much of it here and don't always cherish what we have left.

I haven't been to Winnipeg for quite a while, so not sure what those newer buildings there look like. Do you have any pictures/examples?

The National Museum for Human Rights is nice.

I wish we had a better rendering of the Agency Building

A moment in history: Dec. 13, 1945

On this day in 1945, one of Edmonton's oddest downtown office buildings was sold.

Nice to see that snowclearing has improved!

It's really, really cool.
