Dear Editor,

The Ministry of Culture and Community Spirit, owners of the Turner Valley Gas Plant, announced on April 7th they will be spending $340 million on a new museum in Edmonton. Replacing the 44 year old building now known as the Royal Alberta Museum, the new building will open in 2015. This likely explains why Minister Blackett cannot afford to turn the Turner Valley Gas Plant, which he considers to be "historically significant" into the World Class Historic Site, that it is apparently been destined to become, in time for the 100th anniversary. Looks like Turner Valley will just have to wait. We've only been waiting since they bought it in 1985!
