Canada Place

Canada Place, Government building in Edmonton, Alberta

Canada Place is a glass-and-steel office building in downtown Edmonton, opened in 1988. It consists of two stepped office blocks of 15 and 13 storeys, connected by an atrium, and is clad in a pink colour. Its stepped shape was designed to resemble the maple leaf on the Canadian flag. It neighbours the Edmonton Convention Centre and overlooks the North Saskatchewan River valley.

The building was constructed in the 1980s and marked a major expansion of federal government operations in Alberta's capital. Its creation reflected the growing importance of Edmonton as an administrative hub.

Canada Place stands on the site of Edmonton's original Chinatown, whose buildings were razed for construction. The pink colour and stepped profile were designed to suggest the maple leaf on the Canadian flag. The lower-level food court is open to the public.

Canada Place is linked to the Edmonton Convention Centre and the Citadel Theatre through the Edmonton Pedway, so visitors can move between them indoors. A food court open to the public sits on the lower level, and underground parking serves the building.

The original design called for a taller third office block behind the two stepped wings, but it was dropped because downtown demand for new office space seemed too low. The building was engineered so the third tower could still be added later. The site was Edmonton's old Chinatown, whose original buildings were razed for construction.
