Regina Construction IV

The fact that even wealthy people who can blow money on every option in their new homes are not putting in sprinklers tells you that their utility is limited. I wonder if you would even get much a of discount on your fire insurance, given the potential claims from sprinkler malfunctions/water damage. I read that sprinklers can start malfunctioning in about 20 years.

older homes seem like the main fire risk. Multi-family buildings are completely different for several reasons.

This from Saskatoon Home Builders: For ground-oriented homes, and especially for detached housing, there are other fire safety measures that are much
less expensive, much more effective, and that have fewer potential unintended negative consequences (like water damage). Smoke alarms, for
example, are one of the most important measures in saving lives, and they do so at a fraction of the cost of sprinklers.

Interesting that you have the opposite approach to criticism of the mayor and her ties to REAL and swimming.

Bresciani is a land developer. Her husband has gotten special permission for projects since she became a councilor.

Mohl is a pipefitter and pushed for the sprinklers.

Zachidniak owns a solar company and is the biggest voice on council for solar.

It seems that in the past that a lot of councilors and hopeful councilors in elections were real estate agents or had a direct connection to land development or construction. I remember looking at it a long time ago and it was sort of shocking to me. Since that time, nothing in municipal politics surprises me. I will say that this latest move by Mohl was even more blatant than usual though.

REAL is 100% owned by the City. How is that a conflict?

Well, if I was a free market, private enterprise kind of guy, I would say that encouraging development over there vs downtown could be a conflict. That wasn't really my point though. the_mayor seems to have a hard on for our mayor as per past comments.

Is this to replace Pioneer Village? The SHA has been moving people out of there for years because of mold issues. Or are we going to pay for Extendicare to have a new building for private profit?

Eden Care is shutting down a wing at 1925 5th Ave N. The residents are being moved all over the city into LTC and laying off a bunch of staff. Without trying to doxx myself, I had an interaction with a resident who was to be moved and she said she would rather die than move. Truly heartbreaking. LTC should be run by the SHA. They had to take over Parkside during the pandemic since Extendicare shit the bed. They're often referred to as "Pretend-to-care" in healthcare circles.

I'd love to see a nice, modern replacement for Pioneer Village. Even that location is great, though not nearly as nice since they cut down a few dozen trees for a parking lot for Government House.

And what about former mayor Fiacco? His family had a lot of Harbour Landing land for development years ago.

Future of Brandt Centre to be presented to Regina council

Regina Exhibition Association Limited (REAL) will present Regina’s Executive Committee with a report that discusses the future of the Brandt Centre.

The report outlines three options that feature five locations for a new 10,000-seat multi-purpose event centre that would replace the Brandt Centre.

Tim Reid, the CEO of the REAL District, said they are bringing forward the report due to the Brandt Centre reaching the end of its life as an event centre. They will be keeping the Existing facility

Really happy it looks like Downtown will be the main pushed location…

“We also recognize that the development of a future library is intended to happen downtown and will generate somewhere between 750,000 and a million visitors downtown; add to that to the potential 500,000 to 600,000 visitors that a new event centre might create, we think that those two projects have a transformational impact on the future of our downtown,” he said. “Then the last piece to it, we also believe that it’s likely the location where we have the best ability to build a true entertainment district in the heart of our city.”

We need a new central library and a new arena, but for God sakes please don't put them together.
