As for the $60M, there is no commitment of funding yet, hope to have it within the next year. Looking to governments, plus some mortgage.

Tom Vernon ‏@TomVernonGlobal 2h2 hours ago
The new centre will also include a bank, a bistro and some hotel rooms. The idea is to generate revenue to help support services. #yeg

Thanks for the tip, we'll get this in our database! It will be interesting to see what that looks like in a rendering that isn't so flat. Could be quite lovely.

Looks like they've secured a $250,000 grant though:

This looks like a much more reasonable redo given what the org is and what they do. The original render was cool, but looked way too gentrification-y.

This makes more sense.. The courtyard is a good idea too.. The ground floor reminds me of whats there now but much better.

So did this project die in its tracks or is this still on the table somewhere?

After the Herb Jamison Center redo, I hope this one is done next.

I had heard a few things on this about a year ago.

1. Expansion on the current lot with a new and improved facility.
2. Relocated within the area in an existing/improved.

Boyle Street Services will be a great looking renovation.

A win-win.

New place for Boyle Street, OEG gets more property and an old building gets new life.

A fine project deserving of its own thread imho.
