Albertans can offer condolences to the Royal Family at eight spots in Alberta
Albertans mourning the death of Queen Elizabeth, who passed away at the age of 96 on Thursday, can now offer their condolences to the Royal Family.
The Queen visited Alberta five times during her 70-year reign, and we are sure many Albertans have fond memories of her visits and Canada’s former Head of State herself.
“For many of us, Her Majesty is the only monarch we’ve ever known, essential to our identity as Albertans and Canadians,” said Premier Jason Kenney.
“In this period of mourning, let’s come together in expressing our compassion and support for the Royal Family, whose devastating loss we share.”
Messages of support can be shared through an online book of condolence, which is available at alberta.ca/
Albertans can also visit the following provincial buildings and government centres to provide handwritten condolences.
Weekdays and weekends, 9 am to 4 pm
- Alberta Legislature Building: 10800 97 Avenue NW, Edmonton
- Government House: 12845 102 Avenue NW, Edmonton
- McDougall Centre: 455 6 Street SW, Calgary
Weekdays only, 9 am to 4 pm

The province adds it is asking people to not bring flowers to leave at public buildings, as they will be removed to ensure safe access to the buildings and perimeter.
The province says a Celebration of Life is planned for the Queen, with further details about these public memorials forthcoming.
The City of Edmonton is also setting up a book of condolence in City Hall’s City Room with a photo display of the Queen’s visits to Edmonton.
