MARK on Tenth, a $100 million condominium project by Qualex- Landmark has been announced for Tenth Avenue and Eighth Street SW in Calgary.

The first stage in construction has commenced with crews beginning to dismantle the existing building on the site, which was formerly West Canadian Graphics.

The BMO Retirement Institute has released a report stating one-third of baby boomers are planning to sell their home to help fund their retirement.

The report, which examines the relationship between Canadians readiness for retirement and their attitudes regarding home ownership, found 32 per cent of respondents believe living comfortably in retirement is the most financial accomplishment to achieve over a lifetime but 40 per cent are not confident they can save enough to fund their ideal retirement lifestyle.

Ongoing for a year now, ENMAX Energy's Generate Choice program offers affordable solar and wind power for the home thanks to funding from the Climate Change and Emissions Management Corporation.

After three years of construction, the west leg of the Calgary LRT system will commence service Dec. 10.

"You'll notice if you tour the west line that there's many, many workers out there still patching up some of the surface works that need to be done but with respect to the rail lines and the stations they are substantially complete, they've been turned over to Calgary Transit and Calgary Transit are doing their testing as we speak,"

Nestled beside Shaw Millennium Park along the new West LRT line, the Mewata Armoury and Drill Hall is a one-of-a-kind building in Calgary's inner city.

The word "Mewata" is said to be derived from the Cree word for 'O be joyful' or 'to be happy'. With construction beginning 1915 and a completion date of 1918, the structure was the brainchild of architect Thomas W. Fuller.
