Once more, the Province of Alberta forsakes its architectural and cultural heritage in search for some quick savings.

An architectural oddity, Hillcrest School was one of the last built by the ill-fated West Jasper Place School Board.

This small Depression-era school was twenty years in the making.

Humanities Centre, in all its concrete glory, represents one of Edmonton’s best examples of the Brutalist style.

Canada’s first municipal planetarium is Edmonton’s greatest mid-century jewel.

If you drive out to the site today, you’d be hard pressed to find the signs of cultural genocide. Where it happened doesn’t look special; it could be ‘Anywhere, Alberta.’ But long ago it was once home to the Edmonton Indian Residential School.
