Edmonton’s North Saskatchewan River Valley and Downtown
Canada’s festival City awaits you!
No matter when you hold your event in Edmonton, you will be surrounded by one of the 30 major festivals that celebrate the arts, sports, film, winter and theatre year-round. What better way to get to know Alberta’s capital city. There’s something new to enjoy everywhere you turn, no matter the season. Talk about diverse facilities: how about Canada’s largest living history museum, an art gallery with its sweeping ribbons of steel mimicking the Northern Lights, or a river boat paddling the North Saskatchewan River? For something more down to earth, Edmonton has Canada’s largest exhibition facility west of Toronto as well as an award-winning convention centre offering unforgettable cuisine and vistas of North America’s largest urban parkland. Our city’s 13,000 hotel rooms offer the comfort you desire. We stand ready to help you put together pre and post-event programs that showcase why TripAdvisor called us a top 10 family-friendly Canadian destination. We are home to some of the country’s best eateries, and an unparalleled arts and culture scene. And ask us about how you can take advantage of two programs that inject local content and social responsibility into your event. Let us show you why Edmonton should host your next event.

THE SpIRIT Of STANLEYLocated on Gateway Boulevard only blocks away from the bustling Old Strathcona district, stands an impressive 12.5-foot-tall Stanley Cup replica weighing in at a solid 850 pounds. The Stanley statue was built in 2007 through the collaboration of two local businesses, United Cycle and IMARK Metal Fabricators, along with the support of the Edmonton Oilers and the City of Edmonton. It features not only the cup winning teams since 1892, but also the complete team rosters from Alberta’s first year in the NHL (1979/80) to present day. The Stanley is a true Edmonton treasure admired by hockey fans and visitors alike.

AlbertA legislAture celebrAtes centenniAl in 2012Downtown Edmonton is everyone’s neighbourhood, a place to gather, to celebrate and mark milestones, such as this year’s 100th anniversary of the Alberta Legislature building, a living architectural monument in the grand Beaux Arts style, which first opened its doors on Sept. 3, 1912.
Its lobby is one of the best remaining examples of art deco style in Canada, with six types of marble, nickel-plated doors and decorative light fixtures. Already a new carillon can be heard daily at noon and 6 p.m. as it strikes the Westminster Chime on the hour followed by 15 minutes of musical selections.
To mark the centennial, the City of Edmonton is investing $17.6 million to transform a five block stretch of 108th Street downtown — overlooking the scenic Legislature — into Capital Boulevard, a ceremonial street inspired by world famous public spaces in Washington D.C., Rome, Moscow and London.
Capital Boulevard will connect to a new landscaped Government of Alberta public plaza being built south of 99th Avenue. The new plaza promises to further open up the legislature grounds to visitors, creating an area Albertans and visitors can enjoy year-round, with 100 fountains in summer, a public outdoor Olympic-sized skating rink in winter, and abundant green spaces to represent Alberta’s six eco-zones (Boreal Forest, Rocky Mountains, Foothills, Parkland, Grassland and Canadian Shield).

Also consider giving your gathering a tasty, distinctive flavour with entrees prepared from locally grown, farm-fresh favourites. Two-thirds of Alberta ranches raise cattle that has won a global following for their rich, flavourful grain-fed meat. Central Alberta has grown into a hub for cheese makers and dairy farmers; market gardens harvest produce such as squash and potatoes; and rich fields to the south of Edmonton yield canola, wheat, corn and berries. All of the above come together as creative, satisfying entrees at restaurants proud to serve regional cuisine.

The diversity of dishes reaches far beyond Alberta’s borders, from chefs who happily accommodate large groups, and can add a personal touch with custom menus that reflect special dietary needs such as vegan, gluten-free and organic. Many also offer private banquet facilities, entertainment, and off-premise catering to turn your meeting or special event into a crowd-pleaser.

Also consider giving your gathering a tasty, distinctive flavour with entrees prepared from locally grown, farm-fresh favourites. Two-thirds of Alberta ranches raise cattle that have won a global following for their rich, flavourful grain-fed meat. Central Alberta has grown into a hub for cheese makers and dairy farmers; market gardens harvest produce such as squash and potatoes; and rich fields to the south of Edmonton yield canola, wheat, corn and berries. All of the above come together as creative, satisfying entrees at restaurants proud to serve regional cuisine.

NorDeGG — Continue west to the Nordegg Heritage Centre (seasonal; check for times). The Heritage Centre is the starting point for guided tours to the site of the historic coal mine. The town’s layout echoes the semi-circular pattern of Mount Royal in Quebec.
AbrAHAM lAKe — Depart Nordegg on Highway 11 west (allow stops at various viewpoints along this route). Arrive in Abraham Lake and the Bighorn Dam (seasonal). Marvel at the turquoise waters of Abraham Lake and mountain views. The dam is one of the largest earth-filled dams in Western Canada — the electricity generated here is used all the way to Edmonton.

The crisp, dry fresh air, the clear blue Alberta skies and the sparkling white blanket of snow beckon you. Try your hand at the classic Canadian game of curling at Jasper Place Curling Club. Then visit Fort Edmonton Park for lunch and a fun afternoon on a horse-drawn sleigh ride and a chance to learn about the historic lives of the fur traders. Then it’s back to modern-day for shopping and dinner at West Edmonton Mall, The Greatest Indoor Show on Earth. If you’d like more active, outdoor adventure, then visit Strathcona Wilderness Centre and Elk Island National Park for snow shoeing, cross-country skiing, skating, a campfire program, outdoor living skills, wildlife watching or a winter hike (add a second day in Edmonton).

The first major river crossing on this leg of The Canadian’s journey is the 274-metre-long bridge over the Pembina River. In 1862, gold seekers paddled their way along this river to the Cariboo gold fields. Just past Edson, look south for your first glimpse of the Miette Range of the Rocky Mountains. The Obed Summit is the highest point on the Trans Canada Yellowhead Highway at 1,163 metres (3,818 feet) above sea level.

SuggeSted MonthS: Year-roundAlberta is a land of contrasts. From the friendly sophistication of Edmonton to the most accessible glacier in North America, discover a new way of travelling to the Canadian Rockies. The grandeur of the mountains comes, in part, from the contrast to Alberta’s arid plains, aspen parkland and boreal forest. The route of explorer and fur trader David Thompson allows the visitor an unusual end-on view of mountain ranges and spectacular geological features. The eastern route south from Edmonton takes you to Alberta’s distant past, a land where the dinosaurs roamed.
edMonTon To CaLGarY VIa druMHeLLer — (off Highway 21) 4-5 hours driving time. For sightseeing & stops, allow 1-2 days from Edmonton to Calgary. Returning to Edmonton via Highway 2, allow 3 hours driving time. Suggested Months: April to October

HERITAGE LIVES ON — The rich Alberta farmland east of Edmonton was largely homesteaded by Ukrainian immigrant families whose toil and traditions transformed east central Alberta from 1892 to 1930. With costumed players and historic buildings, Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village is an outdoor living museum that tells their compelling story of life in a new land. The food here is delicious, too.

NATURE’S SPLENDOUR — Nowhere does the legend of Alberta’s endless blue skies live up to its reputation than in the north. With only five per cent of Alberta’s population, the magnificent north offers unpopulated expanses of parkland, forests and lakes — dotted with towns and dynamic young cities — all easily accessible by good, safe highways.
AlbertA’s NorthA fly-fisherman’s dream, northern Alberta is a landscape with hundreds of lakes and wild rivers teeming with trout, pike, walleye and perch. Bird-watchers thrill to their sightings of osprey, bald eagles, blue herons and rare trumpeter swans. History buffs can explore museums throughout the north country. St. Paul boasts a Cultural Centre and Museum. Fort McMurray’s Oil Sands Discovery Centre tells the tale of oil development and technology. The Grande Prairie Museum showcases fossils, a pioneer village and wildlife displays. Art galleries illustrate the culture of the first inhabitants of northern Alberta.Parks abound in this rugged region, including Wood Buffalo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site that straddles the border with the North-west Territories. The park, founded in 1922, protects bison herds and today is home to the largest free-roaming bison herd on the planet.The brilliant Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights, shimmer brightly throughout the region. The sight of this dancing curtain of cosmic energy is one you won’t want to miss!
