while good to hear, 87% 3 days a week is still just 52% of full time 5 days a week.

A half assed effort from the UCP to get our downtown revitalized by requiring workers to be in the office not pyjamas.

Not this mandate...coming from Ottawa. Beats have it sit empty for the last 3 years

As reported, better than nothing, but still aways away from where that percentage should be.

Color me surprised

Data from the City of Edmonton shows that a handful of wards house the bulk of the city's cannabis stores.

Very applicable to Edmonton. More folks leaving the core.

I suspect Calgary's situation is more dire considering the large office vacancy problem there (more office buildings that have occupancy problems). Edmonton also has the ICE District as a countervailing force, soon to be joined by the Warehouse District Park (if it doesn't become the passive drug-dealing monster that it first seemed to be). Also Edmonton has two fast-growing universities in its downtown core. Calgary in a similar vein is more barren.

^luckily not much manufactured culture in Edmonton. We have the real deal. Some of these Vancouver/Toronto transplant types might want to do their research into Alberta cities before just deciding to move to Calgary and being unhappy about it.
