Lake Leaside, April 2019
Always with us/Bulldog
The snow-laden winter of 2019 has produced runoff that has refilled Lake Leaside, the large in-limbo construction site belonging to the SmartCentre. This area is east of Laird Drive between Vanderhoof and Wicksteed Aves. Excavation began there in 2015 when prospects seemed good for an expansion of the commercial centre, including a new Walmart. In 2017, it took until August to drain the lake. Fencing required repair and was considerably improved although the state at present is unknown. Lake Leaside archive.
