As one of Western Canada’s premiere event and convention facilities, the Edmonton Convention Centre is in the business of attracting large groups to host their events. Our customers are increasingly seeking facilities that are serious about sustainability, health, and wellness. They evaluate our strategies such as sustainable energy use, waste reduction, and – especially since COVID-19 – on cleanliness and indoor air quality. As such, we have made a number of significant investments and changes to our facilities, equipment, and practices to both reduce our environmental footprint and ensure the health and safety of our guests and staff inside the facility.
