Who needs heat in Canada anyways? Funny how the only underground / yearly climate controlled station (Westbrook) is directly underneath the Calgary Transit Operations and Engineering Office. I wonder how many stations could be heated for the price of that building and station alone. Another well thought out plan by Calgary transit 🤪
Calgarians are now experiencing many days of water restrictions because the break in a large main water pipe is taking many days to fix. The Mayor and Councilors of the Municipal Council of Calgary need to make sure that the infrastructure of the water system, waste system, electrical system, natural gas system, road system, park system and every other system in Calgary is maintained in excellent operating condition and that the workers employed and engaged with the City of Calgary to maintain each system are of good moral character and competent..
Lets thank the men & women ( blue collar ) that worked through the rain snow ---- & ++++ temps. Without them this building would have never been done on time & budget.
Really hope you are involved in any future passenger rail station in the east end of downtown. It would potentially connect the East Village, Stampede, BMO Centre, new Arena, and so much more. Represents a serious opportunity to transform how people interface with central Calgary.
It's amazing they can construct a building on schedule. But there's endless construction projects that are 100x smaller on scale all over the city that take years to be addressed. Oh and also to mention, all the pot holes that get crappily patched
for the love of god please do not get rid of the skating rink!! skating in downtown during the winter is one of the best things, I'd miss it so much and I know i'm not alone
they should have built the new NHL Arena on this site. Then tear down the old Saddledome and replace it with the "new BMO Centre.... but that would have made good sense for Calgary. Very archaic old fashioned construction techniques used in this build....everything was assebled on site - no completed panels lifted into place = massive waste of money.
Huh... WHY??? Another tax payer funded building, just like the so called new arena that the FLAMES should be paying for 100%, instead of being paid for by the tax payers whether we like it or not? What was wrong with the old BMO Centre? It looked pretty modern to me. Seems like a waste of money to me in these tough economical times! That's Gondek for you, spend spend spend, when it's not her money.
Going to be back there in 2025 for the Calgary Comic Book Expo. And I cannot wait to go in and see this brand new place for not only to meet some actors, but to see how big this place is. I am looking forward to it for sure ^^
Fun fact: This was the same budget as Roger arena Edmonton, plus calgary is building a 1.22 billion dollar arena event center close to it, including everything around it
