Edmonton's Hangar 11 property redevelopment project is facing an uncertain future after a historic building on the city's old airfield was destroyed by fire.
No one will be living in the Castledowns Pointe condos anytime soon, even though the bills still need to be paid, in what is being described as a "financial tragedy" in north Edmonton.

The Alberta Avenue Community League is embarking on a multi-year process to turn an unnamed park into a memorial for missing and murdered Indigenous women and girls.
Liz John-West, a member of the community league, said the idea came as a City of Edmonton staff member reminded them there are several unnamed parks in the community. Upon reflection, she said the group decided to pick a park and develop it into a tribute to the women and girls from the community who have been lost.
