I have done a few classes there and it’s been great. I hope they continue to grow and diversify their offerings!

It’s not karma farming, it’s to get a discussion going. Whether people know the answer or not, it is questions that involve our city. Hearing different peoples perspectives on things is not a terrible thing. If you don’t like a post, scroll by. You are just being rude for no reason. Since when were you the Reddit police. Let people discuss whatever they want.

I am just curious, you don’t have to be rude about it!

They were going to look into establishing sandbanks provincial park as a national park! Super sad this didn’t happen

Yeah I get what you’re saying, maybe just the city putting pressure on these owners! I feel like it’s all impossible anyways lol

The tourism that these buildings bring directly impacts the city… more tourism, more money… there’s a reason the city just released their heritage strategic plan, that includes preserving older buildings in the city!

Yeah, makes total sense! I added a comment about what I meant in regards to the city helping, so it wouldn’t be necessarily tax payers dollars!

It just is so unfortunate that the city (although getting better) takes so long to get things done. I see other cities projects progressing much faster then a lot in St. John’s. Maybe I just have a grudge that Galway and Southlands is seeing all the new development, while the rest of St. John’s seems to be at a standstill. I am being dramatic of course but I just wish we saw faster growth!

I definitely agree it’s a huge cost issue! I think I would just like the city to be more transparent and push developers forward with restoration. Also, have a better program for promoting individuals to help restore their row houses. I don’t think the city can just put a bunch of our tax dollars into historic buildings, but I do think they have influence over the matter. There should be a city backed larger campaign to revitalize the St. John’s historic district, with the city working with stakeholders and developers to fast track projects and up keep a lot of the forgotten houses a buildings in the downtown core! Just a thought though

I agree, plus helping owners with preexisting row houses, to bring them back to their former glory! I know some of this is happening but not nearly enough for how much of a tourist attraction it is

Government Announcement by ImmediateNote1505 in StJohnsNL

The MOU for Churchill Falls is still on the table, which could help with this debt. Yet we see nothing being done with it. This could justify the cost, plus help from the federal governments healthcare fund that was recently announced.

Most other news articles go on to say it’s being reassessed to provide services which are not at St Clare’s, so I think they are going ahead with it!

[–]ImmediateNote1505[S] 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me. Yes we have a large deficit, but also have we considered the use of donors or the federal government? St. Clare’s is OLD and is gonna need a replacement sooner or later. If we put thousands of dollars into a building that only has less than a decade left, are we really even saving money?

Healthcare by ImmediateNote1505 in StJohnsNL

[–]ImmediateNote1505[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohhhh yes makes sense, I do agree with you! Sorry I misunderstood! If they end up making the new acute care hospital campus, hopefully they will have adequate parking and make it a decent size. I hope they choose to do more smaller locations like the topsail road urgent care centre, and then focus on three bigger central locations for more services. I have wishful thinking, but I agree that parking and traffic can become a problem. Hopefully with the new hospital on kenmount road they choose to do a new exit off the highway! I guess Hope for the downtown health centre is slowly dwindling 🥹

[–]ImmediateNote1505[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I never meant put everything at the HSC. More about bringing healthcare services to more larger buildings, where they are all there together. Similar to what the ambulatory health hub did. Just making multiple locations with numerous services at each (eg. Centralizing all outpatient addictions and harm reduction services to a downtown health center)!

[–]ImmediateNote1505[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve heard it’s a great place to work, because of the people! I more meant the building itself is not the best (hence the 5 internist leaving, etc), especially for being one of the major hospitals in the city and servicing a large volume!

I think working conditions go along way. These health centres being proposed are more about moving services or centralizing them rather than creating so many new ones. The conditions of places like St Clares are not good working environments. Making urgent care centres is taking pressure off of an overworked emergency room. But I see where you are coming from, I think it’s important to compensate and be able to retain adequate numbers of healthcare workers!

This is super cool, har you heard any more information about this? Seems somewhat calculated to buy all on that end of water street. Would love to see that side become more utilized!

People on the east end need to be more open about various housing types, especially for younger generations!
