957 years needed to meet downtown density targets at current rate: Regina mayor
Only 74 new residents have made downtown Regina their home during the first quarter of a 25-year plan to bring 10,000 people into the city centre, according to City of Regina administration.
How is that anything like Zellers? It looks like they just shoved their regular HBC CANADA-CANADA-CANADA section into a corner and put some Zellers signs up.

To truly be like a Zellers they would need some dirt and grime with shit scattered everywhere.

Like everything else these days, it is an attempt at garnering some 80s and 90s nostalgia. To be honest, it piqued my interest for a second.
Except the city is proposing to increase the costs for infill development because they're brilliant!
It's such a counter intuitive policy. They went from incentivizing densification to taxing it all the same year. Hopefully the politicians can see the light and re-introduce the incentives for densification.
It's changing from Conexus Arts Center to... Capital Auto Theatre.
Gross.
No.
It's still the Conexus Arts Centre. The main theatre is now the Capital Auto Theatre rather than The Shirley Bell Theatre. Everyone just calls it Conexus Arts Centre or even the Centre of the Arts overall anyway. The individual theatre names are rarely used.
Interesting development in the old staples centre, particularly if your a racquetball player!
Owner Dean Puffalt has reconstructed the interior of the high-roofed Staples building with four glass racquetball courts that were gifted to Racquetball Regina (from Racquetball Canada) following the 2015 Pan American Games in Toronto. Puffalt plans to also have four squash courts, three pickleball courts, a fitness area, free parking and a restaurant, dubbed “The Bent Bar & Grill,” open early in 2022.
Still wish the government had a film tax credit to fill buildings like the former Staples Call Centre with film studios (as well) as sports facilities.

Don't we have an empty sound stage? Also we have labour shortages. Why would we want heavily subsidized jobs at this time.

Even Alberta has numerous incentives for film production. It's really sad how much the "small government" mentality is being pushed on us by the SaskParty. And people are falling for it, considering the election last year. It's too bad most people don't have the time and/or ability to see just how bad these "personal responsibility" libertarian ideologies are. Our province is going to continue to be left in the past as the rest of the world moves forward but at least the SaskParty's friends will profit handsomely in the short term without the competition for labour, benefits, etc.
There is not a labour shortage in Saskatchewan. The provincial employment is still lower than it was in 2013. Or 2015. Or 2019.
We have people not working for CERB related reasons.
We have employers who will not bring employees back for more than minimum wage.
We have companies that have permanently contracted their work force for COVID.
We had a genuine labour shortage in 2010-2012. This is far from that scenario.
This 100%. Inflation and cost of living increases effects workers the most. The labour shortage myth is just that. Any outlet perpetuating the myth is likely benefiting from not having to pay people a living wage.

For better or for worse, productions go where they can get the best incentives. If Alberta and Manitoba can figure it out, we could, but it is clearly a political decision to cut out the film industry from this province.
