I am truly confused with the way you think. How about you tell us what Masters has done to make her “the best thing to happen to Regina”?

You do know that humans are hard-wired to sense these patterns right? If it quacks like a duck, it’s likely a duck. Why don’t you just drop the schtick and just admit it. You would likely be respected more than if you just continued on with this facade.

Having played a little rec indoor volleyball at the barn, I can stay that it was really nice. We used to us elementary school gyms but this was so much nicer.

And as an amateur tennis player living near tennis courts that are also used for pickle ball, I'd be so grateful if the leagues went indoors

I had heard a rumour that if the building in the park got shut down, their plan was to just expand their current office on the edge of the city. Again, the above is just rumours that I’ve heard so nobody should put too much stock in what I said.

I really wish that the 1800 Rose tower would’ve gone ahead, and especially in a time like this, a new Brandt tower downtown is likely to be the only development we will see. But I also despise them for their shady tactics trying to get Wascana project pushed through and in my eyes they’ve lost any sort of goodwill that they may have had in our community.
Brandt will never build downtown Regina. They have a long history of building in or just on the outskirts of the city.

Especially since they are now the sole dealer for John Deere Construction & Forestry dealer for all of Canada after acquiring Nortax back in 2019.

I mean it is painfully apparent that the only reason they will likely never build a downtown headquarters is that they want to avoid paying city taxes. The only way it will happen is if the city becomes a bitch and gives Brandt some sweet tax breaks.

I'll reserve judgement on Masters - she's done some things I view as positive, and others that make me wonder. I do like that she's chellenging the status quo in City Hall, and in Council. We've had a series of Mayors who did nothing to change the attitude/culture of City Admin nor City Council.

I will say, Fougere was a pretty low bar - I can't think of a single thing that he did to move this city forward in an active manner. He didn't get in the way very often - but that's not exactly leadership. I get that the Mayor is just one vote on COuncil - but they set they are the only full-time 'Councillor," are the face of the city, and they can set the tone/direction... if they don't, Council fills the gap. And having part-timers setting direction by committee isn't a great way to move forward. The Foug is lucky he stepped in during a boom - can't imagine the disaster that would have been left if he stepped in during tougher economic times in Sask.

They were tearing down the old bank building last I saw. Are you sure they're building something?

They've poured what looks like new footings for something so it's definitely a new building.

Unfortunately the politics took over this thread so maybe it was mentioned before?

I always got the impression that Fougere was the mayor that had to find ways to pay for all the things that were promised, ignored or delayed under Fiacco. The stadium, water treatment plant, increased dedicated spending on roads etc.

I’ve been wondering this as well. Can’t find anything about it anywhere.

Seems strange to build something new when there is so much open space in the mall. Could they not try to convert areas of the existing building into "strip mall" entrances? Are there city bylaws about operating hours if a business is connected to a mall?

The Northgate Mall is a mess, their website is a mess, their owners/property management are non existent and they still have food court seating from 1981. #tellmehowyoureallyfeel lol. The website still shows Lowe’s for goodness sake.

For the heck of it, I called Northgate Mall and played dumb, asking if there was something being built on the property. "Yes" was the answer. So I asked what it will be? "A building" was the reply. I asked if it was going to be a restaurant, and she said "No information". LOL, of course not.

So how big is this thing judging by the footings? I immediately thought 'Staples!', just because they are replacing the east store, which was a nicer store than the Albert Street location. So...maybe it could be them building in a better location?
