Thought everyone here might appreciate a quick update on our progress.
1: Today our silo rehab team had a 75% drawing and technical specification review session. Just ironing out a few final details as we prepare to put this project out to tender. Still on schedule for a Summer 2021 mobilization. Most excited about opening a new and safe pedestrian connection at grade between the north and south silos.
2: Next week our plaza team will host our inaugural stakeholder advisory committee meeting, where committee members will hear a kick-off presentation from PFS Studio on the great thinking and analysis they have underway. The committee is made up of three ‘partner groups’ that include waterfront resident representation, BQNP project partners, and activation partners (the latter of which are groups like Nuit Blanche that have expressed interest in programming/curating special events here once the plaza is complete). So a good range of representation and interests. We remain on track for a June 2021 virtual open house presentation for which I’ll post details here.
3: Lastly, the Canada Ireland Foundation has hired their construction management team and is gearing up to start some site servicing upgrades and interior demo in their building this Spring. Actual renos scheduled to start later this Summer, with their Phase 1 planned to open Fall 2022.
Cheers!
