Aviation museum in Edmonton close to buying its historic home
The Alberta Aviation Museum is working with the City of Edmonton to buy Hangar 14, a historic WWII airplane hangar. An Edmonton museum is close to owning its longtime home, which is a part of Canadian war history. Hangar 14, located on Kingsway near 117 Street and 114 Avenue on the grounds of the former Edmonton Municipal Airport, has been home to the Alberta Aviation Museum for more than three decades. The 84,400-square-foot warehouse has been for sale since October 2023, after the City of Edmonton decided not to spend $41 million renovating it. The city received offers from three other potential buyers but decided to negotiate with the museum. Hangar 14 is the only one of its kind remaining in Canada from the Second World War and is a protected provincial and municipal historic resource, meaning both the city and the province would have to approve any additions or alterations to it. 'It's not a simple buy and sell like you would for an average everyday house,' Jean Lauzon, the executive director of the museum, told CTV News Edmonton on Tuesday. 'There's a number of conditions that need to be met, and we're in the process of figuring out those timelines and those dates. 'We'll be able to sign off on the agreement soon.' Lauzon said the museum hopes to complete the transaction by the end of August.

Waste program in Waterloo recycles used chopsticks into furniture
Furniture and accessories… made from old chopsticks? CTV's Karis Mapp finds out how it works. A waste reduction program in Waterloo is giving used chopsticks new life. The initiative, ChopValue, transforms the utensils into a variety of furnishings, including shelves and desks. 'Around one-third of the world uses chopsticks everyday, with 80 billion being produced in China alone,' explained Monique Chan, ChopValue's community builder. 'We're only using them for 20 to 30 minutes and throwing them straight to the landfill,' she said. With the program spanning largely across the Greater Toronto Area, a student housing building in Waterloo is one of the latest locations to install collection bins. Two receptacles can be found in the food court of 203 Lester Street, a building owned by Asset Maintenance Pros (AMP). 'I didn't think it would take off as much as this has, but our residents are really engaging with the sustainability program,' said Roxane Bernhard, AMP's senior property manager. Organizers said the building was a perfect fit because the program resonates with the consumer's culinary elements. 'There are a lot of international students. There's a growing East Asian population, and with that comes a lot of demand for more cuisine that uses chopsticks as a utensil.' Since launching in Waterloo during fall 2024, 13,852 chopsticks have been recycled. That's lead to 42 kg of waste repurposed and up to 674 kg of CO2 emissions reduced. How it works Once someone has finished eating their meal, they can toss their used chopsticks into one of the bins. From there, the utensils are transported to a manufacturing facility in Niagara Falls. That's where they're made food-safe, dried and molded into uniform tiles to be used for future projects. 'We have a system of micro-factories across the world,' said Chan. 'Any orders that are put through our system are then shipped directly from the closest micro-factory to your address. That way, we're able to cut emissions.' Anyone can purchase a variety of home and office furnishings on the ChopValue website. They also accommodate custom orders. 'They already are a study material, bamboo in general. It's really easy for them to reprocess, remanufacture and make them into sustainable furnishings,' said Bernhard.
