I'm finding it interesting, The Number of Rec Centres I have been going to lately for RFPs on life cycle upgrades. Not just Edmonton but surrounding area. Edmonton has 3 pools down or going down for upgrades or emergency repairs over the next few months.

The Province is actively looking at an expansion of the Royal Alex. The Emergency Department would be expanded into the Active Treatment Centre. A new Acute Care building would be built on the sites of the existing Community Services Centre and Woman's Centre, likely adding about 30% more space to the overall hospital complex. There is also a Clinical Support Building proposed where the North Parking Lot is located. All of this, plus a new parkade somewhere.

Of course they are! Ol Saddlebags Smitty is only "over" reacting to the crisis we have. Who knew that "health care" would be such an important topic to all Albertans, not just those who reside in Red Deer. By the time they build anything - we'll have come full circle and the UCP will be in power again....lol

Is this in addition to the tower expansions at Grey Nuns and the Mis, or instead of one or both?

I so hope you are right, but this feels like a "fool me once..." kinda scenario.

NAIT Trades Building
Norquest
St Albert Recreation Centre (If its not over budget)

What work is planned at the Garrison?

What work is planned at the Garrison?

More housing, A new command building, Transitional building and at least one major support building (I don't know which unit it is for). Its been a few months since I last saw any RFPs though. As for Cold Lake Elis don and Bird are busy up there. Suffield is supposed to get a new Lab building (about700m). And over the next 20 years the Helicopter fleet will be upgraded so with that new program will be new support facilities. (military is going with 4 different helicopters next and will need new building to house them).
