city hall fountains with water

Investing in the Civic Precinct and City Hall Fountain will provide a vibrant, safe and barrier-free space for everyone to enjoy.

Project Overview

The Civic Precinct and City Hall Fountain are important spaces to Edmontonians and visitors. Rehabilitation of this space is necessary to maintain operations of the surface and fountain for people to enjoy, and to complete required work to meet legislative requirements. The layout and function of the space will remain the same with improvements to safety and accessibility.
