Repairs are underway at Edmonton’s Stantec Tower after debris from a pane of glass fell from the 29th floor Monday evening, landing on two parked cars near 103 Avenue and 102 Street.

Edmonton Fire Rescue Services responded to the call just before 5 p.m. and arranged barricades and traffic control for the area.
