Now that summer is here the construction industry has just exploded. The short construction season is dictated by the weather and I guess you can't convince someone to fly up from Montreal to work in -40. One of the most iconic projects is the reconstruction of the Anglican Church which was (according to this CBC article) badly damaged by fire in 2005.
They have been working on it for almost two months now. Last week one of the ladies that works in the office on the other side of my building, who enjoys a view over the city, called us over to watch the spire being lowered into place by a big crane. The church is located right downtown so it is a predominant feature of our eclectic skyline. I am told that the old church contained beautiful tapestries depicting Inuit in bible scenes, I don't know what the plans are for the refurbished interior but am looking forward to seeing it when the church is completed.
