Some City Councillors were shocked to find they would have to pay to repair the exterior of the Whalen Building. The city is on the hook for repairing the Terra Cotta exterior because they own the heritage building. Councillor Rebecca Johnson doesn't think they should restore the building when there's other more important projects. Council approved a million dollar contract with KGS Group Consulting Engineers dealing with the Whalen Building's repairs.
