Support the Ronald McDonald House Alberta Big Build campaign to expand facilities in Calgary and Edmonton, providing more families with a home away from home.

Where is the RMH, is the new one in the same location?

Current RMHC is across the street from Queen Alexandra school. Last I heard they were going to do an expansion of their current facility as they already own the neighbouring five lots for the expasion.

Great organization, highly recommend anyone looking for a volunteering opportunity to look into any of their openings.

Before (taken Nov. 24, 2025):

After (taken March 29, 2026):

From two beautiful homes to an obelisk made of shipping containers.

So much for Edmonton ever getting its own Rainey Street.

Serrentino's in St Albert is expanding their building Adding 7 CRUs to the building. No word on what is going in just a noting in the Gazzette and an excavator on site.

I put my money on; an empty lot for the next 12 years, and then it will become a Timmies drive-thru.

Over the next year I expect to hear a lot of announcements coming out of the Garrison . Heard today the rumours of the runways being revived is very much in the near future.also expect to see some residential towers out there.

I hope that Rohit buys it for a future phase of Stadium Yards, as they really only have the parcel nearest the LRT station left to develop.

Would be cool to get that 4km runway operational again!

Towers...now that would be cool to see!

Wasn't one of the runways out there an emergency landing area for the space shuttles in case of an emergency.
