Alberta - Tier II City Thread
As a former Albertan I eagerly read and often participate in the various Alberta threads ... I've noted the Alberta threads are split about 45% Edmonton, 45% Calgary and 10% for the province in general ... what's missing, in my estimation, is a thread dedicated to new developments and other 'happenings' in Alberta's tier 2 cities (Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Red Deer, St. Albert, Fort McMurray and Grand Prairie) ... my question Alberta foumers and former Albertan forumers too is - would there be enough interest to sustain a thread dedicated to Alberta's tier 2 cities? ... and are there sufficient Alberta forumers located in these tier 2 cities to provide input and/or metro Edmonton/metro Calgary forumers who have enough knowledge of/interest in these tier 2 cities to keep such a tread going? Let me know what y'all think ... hopefully we can make this thread viable! Thanks in advance for your interest. :tup:

Based on the polls conducted when this forum was made...
Alberta Section Stickies Alberta Forumer Count: Where are you from? ... I would conclude that at this point in time there would not be enough traffic to really sustain the thread. Most people are concentrated in the Big 2 cities, as mentioned, and that is also where the vast majority of projects are under construction or proposed. Red Deer, the third largest city in the province, doesn't seem to have any major proposals at all. But what the heck, let's have a go with it and see what happens. I would suggest changing the title though. Tier II is rather... offensive. |
:previous: Thanks for your input ... and, I'd be glad to change the thread title ... but, not sure how to do it ... also, do you and/or another forumer have a suggestion for a more appropriate thread title? ... my objective is to hopefully stimulate a decent, sustainable, thread so any assistance to that end is appreciated :)

I'd be quite interested in development in other cities especially Lethbridge, Grande Prairie, and perhaps Red Deer. However, I don't know how much I'd be able to contribute as far as project information goes.
If a thread is able to be sustained, I nominate a title of "Rest of Alberta Construction" |

Hell, looking at the country as a whole you'd certainly rank Calgary and Edmonton as "Tier II" cities - and I don't see a single thing wrong with that. In the spirit of your post, though, we could go this route: Calgary and Edmonton are now labelled "Tier I" cities, and the Red Deers, Lethbridges, etc are labelled "Class A". ;) |

Yeah, I had no idea about that in Red Deer... let's keep this thread alive and get information flowing about these projects.

I'd like the thread to be around. I have family in Medicine Hat and it would be nice to see what's going on in the non Edmonton and Calgary areas.

There was also talk about Fort Mac getting a couple of 30 something floor residential towers.

This the new Calgary thread? Why isn't it stickied?
