Old Remand Centre
The former Edmonton Remand Centre, located at 9660 104 Avenue (near 97 Street) in downtown Edmonton, is a now-vacant, concrete, multi-storey correctional facility that once served as the city’s remand jail. Built in 1979, the facility was designed specifically for corrections, with a capacity of around 388 beds, though it was reportedly over capacity in later years. After the opening of a much larger, modern remand centre in 2013, the old building ceased to house inmates. In 2019, all its systems were shut down to save on operating costs, leaving it unoccupied. Over the years, the former remand centre saw some limited, temporary uses: it served as a makeshift government training site, a winter shelter in collaboration with Boyle Street Community Services, and even a location for film and TV productions. In earlier winters, its gymnasium was used to provide overflow shelter beds for people experiencing homelessness. Structurally, the building is a seven-storey plus basement concrete structure (about 18,495 m²) with mezzanine levels, a gym, administrative spaces, mechanical rooms, and recreational courtyards. It is physically connected via an underground tunnel system to nearby provincial law courts, the police headquarters, and the city’s Pedway / LRT system. In February 2023, the Alberta government announced a request for proposal (RFP) to demolish the building, arguing that it would not be cost-effective for government or private sector to retrofit it for any other use. At that time, the government was spending about $1 million per year on its upkeep. By January 2024, demolition work was ready to begin: hazardous materials removal was underway, and the site was fenced off to prepare for full deconstruction. According to tender documents, the plan is to fully abate and demolish the structure, cap off underground utilities, and prepare the site potentially for parking or other redevelopment.

Big Horn Dam
This dam was built by TransAlta in 1972 and created lake Abraham. Has an extensive atv area around and in it. There also is a cocky beaver that thinks it built the dam and will chase you away from it when its there.
The End of The World
The remains of a major roadway jutting out into the river valley. Has become a spot of local notoriety. Now the city has chosen to make this an official lookout point. It has been suitably nerfed as a result.
