| Parks Canada | news releases
Randy Boissonnault, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Canadian Heritage and Member of Parliament for Edmonton Centre, on behalf of the Minister of Environment and Climate Change and Minister responsible for Parks Canada, Catherine McKenna, today unveiled a Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada plaque commemorating the importance of Government House in Edmonton as a national historic site.
GOVERNMENT HOUSE, EDMONTON, ALBERTA
| Parks Canada | backgrounders
Government House served as the official residence of Alberta's first six Lieutenant Governors from 1913 to 1938 and became the centre of political and social life in the province in that era. With its imposing exterior and dramatic location overlooking the North Saskatchewan River, it reflected the provincial status acquired by Alberta in 1905 and Edmonton's role as its capital. In addition, its eclectic architecture combining elements of the late Queen Anne Revival style with classical components inspired by the Beaux-Arts style gave it a formal character that reflected its official functions.
