Edmonton Map

I have been to Edmonton three times. In 2000 I went for a conference of the Association of Canadian Archivists, and Yvon joined me there briefly. I returned in 2017, and combined a photo expedition with a visit with my sister Mary. We did a great job of exploring together, we had Ukranian food from a food wagon on Jasper Avenue, perused the Art Gallery of Alberta, and saw much of the city. Most of the photos I have for Edmonton are from this visit. I returned in the summer of 2025 for a wedding. This was a brief visit, allowing only for a short visit downtown to see a few new things.

Edmonton with Mary in 2017

  • Central Edmonton (202 photos) - This gallery starts at the Low Level Bridge crossing the river, and goes up the river bank to Jasper Avenue. There are a lot of photos around Churchill Square, including a visit to the Art Gallery of Alberta with Mary, and inside the Citadel Theatre and City Hall. After Churchill Square, the gallery continues a bit east of the square, into an area they are trying to revitalize called "The Quarters". I descended into a park in the valley here. The gallery then returns to Churchill Square, includes a brief foray into the mall, into the financial district. 

  • Outer Edmonton (74 photos) - These photos are mostly in parks, that Mary and I went for for various purposes. In Gallagher Park, which we went to by accident, we saw some views of the city. We walked in the morning along Henrietta Muir Edwards Park, along the river, before visiting the gardens and greenhouses of the Muttart Conservatory. We saw sculptures and a really pretty pavilion in Borden Park, to the northeast of downtown. On Saturday morning we drove to Whitemud Park in the south-west of the city to see a sculpture called the Talus Dome; it was worth the drive. The gallery ends with the Jasper Place Library and some buildings in Coronation Park.    

  • Edmonton Transit and Miscellaneous (11 photos) - A few photos of the airport, the LRT, a texting mishap and my newspaper shot.

  • LRT, Downtown and the Alberta Aviation Museum (52 photos) - This gallery is all the sightseeing we did while in Edmonton for a wedding, which is not much at all. We went downtown and entered the new library, which was under construction during my visit in 2017, saw the new-tallest buildings in the city, and took the new Valleyview line across the river and back. In between the wedding and the reception, we went to the Alberta Aviation Museum, which turned out to be a massively entertaining visit due to the volunteer who took us on a tour of the back areas of the museum.
