Charles Camsell Hospital a year ago • updated 2 months ago	The Charles Camsell Hospital was originally established in 1946 as a federally operated "Indian hospital" primarily for treating Indigenous patients from northern Alberta and the Northwest Territories for tuberculosis (TB). Owned by Indian Health Services until 1980, it exemplified segregated healthcare in Canada, with many Indigenous people isolated and subjected to experimental treatments, forced sterilizations, and reports of physical, mental, and sexual abuse. As TB rates declined in the 1960s and 1970s, the facility transitioned to a general provincial hospital after a rebuild in the late 1960s, operating until its closure in 1996. The site remained largely abandoned for decades, gaining a reputation as one of the most haunted locations due to its dark history. In recent years, ground-penetrating radar searches have been conducted for potential unmarked graves of patients who died there. The property has since been redeveloped into the Inglewood Lofts, a mixed-density residential community featuring approximately 594 units, including adaptive reuse of the main hospital building into 213 loft-style units, townhouses, a completed 101-unit seniors housing development, and plans for additional mixed-use elements like a public park and Indigenous memorial spaces.	public	--

Chinatown Mall/Mirama Dining & Lounge a year ago • updated a month ago	The former Mirama/Chinatown commercial complex around 94 Street & Jasper Avenue, historically documented at 9431–9441 Jasper Avenue. This wasn’t simply an ordinary shopping centre. It became an important Chinese/Asian commercial and social gathering place in Edmonton’s Chinatown South.
