ICYMI: the Waterfront BIA is asking these same questions and has commissioned a study to explore how to enliven the promenade and Sherbourne Common North: https://www.waterfrontbia.com/waterfront-public-life-pilot/

Enjoy! And that was sort of the reason for my post. Today was indeed perfect conditions for that park and it was empty. Any feelings here why that might be?

Aitken Place Park from earlier today. Full sun, light breeze, 22 degrees.

Great question. Everything that we can safely remount over the walkway we will. At minimum that means the large cylinders (aka dust storage bins). The long vertical shafts that held the conveyer belts are unfortunately corroded beyond any repair or salvage. You can literally put your finger...

Thought the group would appreciate this brief walk through of the silo portal in progress.

This is very well put and a great description of our scenario at the CMC site.

Since 2017 Joe Cressy and his team have been critical in helping our team assemble the plaza construction budget from more than 10 individual Section 37 contributions. I can’t overstate the impact his support has had on advancing all of these projects. He will be missed. Also, here’s a new CBC...

This was a housekeeping matter, but if interested in the context on this: We tendered the south silo rehab work in two parts - Phase 1A and Phase 1B - in order to expedite contract award and allow the successful bidder to mobilize on the south silo at a time when we still only had Phase 1A...

Not yet as we only just discovered this on Wednesday. This particular part of the south silo is difficult and hazardous to reach due to 6-12" of sludge that isn't scheduled for removal until Spring. But the cold weather has frozen the sludge solid so we were able to travel further in without...

Glad the group here saw this! We actually have a professional photographer (funding courtesy of the Waterfront BIA) coming down to the site Monday morning to record a time lapse of this before we 'fix' it. But not to worry - now that we've seen the potential of this and the tremendous reaction...

A very sincere thanks for your words of support, which I will share with our team. It's a tremendous privilege to do this work, and very rewarding to hear it is appreciated. So we'll just keep going!

We actually have a similar but bigger idea in mind! In partnership and with funding provided by the Waterfront BIA, we have worked with Moment Factory to produce a high-level concept and feasibility study for the installation of projectors on the site with which to transform the silos into...

Here’s a short video that will be released today to celebrate the recent Phase 2 ground breaking event.

Hmm. Had attached some photos to my reply that didn't show up. Trying again.

Hey Daniel, thanks for your support for this project and for your feedback. I'm glad to answer this question. That particular bench design is found in three other central waterfront locations: 1) the nearest is the immediately adjacent Portland Slip promenade, which uses timber that looks...

Some progress photos as we clear the fences and debris around the south silo. Next week we’ll excavate this area in order to repair and waterproof the foundation.

FYI: tonight our team did a dry-run of tomorrow's silo lighting demo . It looks amazing. Check out Jonathan Gazze's instagram and the Waterfront BIA's social media tomorrow for photos. And come check it out in person Wednesday evening at 8pm! https://www.instagram.com/jgazze/?hl=en...

Contract award for the silo rehab was approved yesterday. We're scheduling a kick-off site meeting with our contractor next week, with mobilization set to begin early October. Another puzzle piece falling into place. We're excited to get started. Also, Wednesday, September 29 at 8pm is...

Wow, you guys really don’t miss anything. That award panel report only went live this morning. Hoping for an early October mobilization for both the silo rehab project, and the Corleck building by Canada Ireland Foundation. And we’re presenting revised landscape concept plans to our...

The constructive feedback and enthusiasm is most appreciated! We’ve been diligently working away on getting the silo rehab and Corleck renovations both underway this summer. Making great progress, with some groundbreaking dates coming soon!
