Edmonton - Shaw Convention Centre

It is suggested that a tour of the relatively small city center of Edmonton should begin with a visit to the modern Shaw Conference Center, built in 1983 at 9797 Jasper Ave., which is constructed in the form of terraces on the steep northern bank of the North Saskatchewan River.

There are great Views from the Shaw Conference Centre across the river to the North Saskatchewan River valley. The addition of the D Hall included 30 ft high windows, where visitors can gaze out at the valley while having dinner. Meetings are also held here.

One unique aspect of the Shaw Conference Centre is that most of the building is actually underground.
