  Entertainment Centre in city centre airport land

  With a translucent style similar to the Khan Shatyr in Astana (http://www.khanshatyr.com/pages.php?l=01) to allow for natural lighting and appropriate geothermic temperature control during all four seasons. It would great to house restaurants, winter themed stores etc, in conjunction with the tobogganing hills, skating areas and parks either in the city centre airport lands or somewhere in the river valley in conjunction ...more »

It would great to house restaurants, winter themed stores etc, in conjunction with the tobogganing hills, skating areas and parks either in the city centre airport lands or somewhere in the river valley in conjunction with some of the other projects mentioned here. Architecturally unique, a Native american-ized version of Khan Shatyr could also form part of Edmonton's tourism backbone.

  Winter Free Admission Day

  Much like the free admission day in the summer the city could open the Zoo, Fort Edmonton, John Janzen, etc to the public for fun winter activities. Winter animals at the zoo, sleigh rides and snowmen at the Fort, snowshoeing and animal tracks at John Janzen. Live music at Hawrelack park for ice skating. Even working with Snow Valley to run free that day and encouraging community leagues to offer up the rinks to non-members. ...more »

  Ice Thickness Communication

  This is a quick and simple idea. I'm told that the ice thickness is monitored daily on storm water lakes in the city, though that gets a little bit hard to believe when they have unknown ice thickness sign up even after a week of -30c. Create a website where people can go to check the current ice thickness at their local storm water lakes, and the date it was last updated, similar to how the city already has for ...more »

  Skating Trail down the River Valley

  I propose that we follow in Ottawa and Winnipeg's footsteps and build a large and long skating rink down the North Saskatchewan River.

  We don't need to try to break the world record but we could make a massive skating rink that thousands could enjoy. There could be live music, food vendors, and warm up shacks/change rooms along the way for those cold days.
