Rossdale Power Plant Tour Featuring Prairie Sky Gondola

Join NAIOP for a condensed tour of Rossdale Power Plan, followed by a presentation by Prairie Sky Gondola.

About this Event

The history, ownership, and development complexities of the Rossdale Power Plant will be explored and discussed in order to provide context for the proposed re-development of the Rossdale area known as River Crossing.
New plans for the area rely on providing better access and connectivity – a problem that Prairie Sky Gondola is working with the City to address. This event provides a unique opportunity to understand the development of this important site and the current status of the proposed gondola.

About Prairie Sky Gondola

Prairie Sky Gondola is a privately owned company that was born out of the Edmonton Project in March of 2017. With the diligent work of some of Edmonton’s most progressive and ambitious city builders, this lofty idea has continued to gain momentum and is now in phase two of project development with the City of Edmonton. The vision is to provide a modern-day urban transportation, river valley activation, and tourism experience that will connect communities and empower city builders.

About the Rossdale Power Plant

Built in the 1930s, the Rossdale Power Plant represents an important part of our city’s legacy including 10,000 years of archaeological record and several sacred indigenous sites. The plant stopped producing power in 1989 and received its historical designation in 2001. Prairie Sky leased the building this summer in order to provide Edmontonians with a chance to tour this historic site before it undergoes further repairs in October 2020.
