The demolition of St. Bede School has created more green space in Edmonton’s Gold Bar neighbourhood.
Project Update - Fall 2025
The St. Bede School Demolition Project is complete. The site is now a green space with trees that provides opportunities for biodiversity, leisure and recreation in Gold Bar.
About the Project
In 2023, the City of Edmonton purchased the surplus school site, located at 10537 44 Street NW, from the Edmonton Catholic School Division.
The City of Edmonton demolished the former St. Bede School site as the vacant site was no longer needed.
The demolition project involved hazardous materials abatement with safe disposal, the demolition of all constructed surfaces and structures, site grading and landscaping (seeding). The site grading and grass seeding expanded the park’s lawn where the school site used to be.
The City of Edmonton understands that mature trees and natural areas are important to biodiversity. The demolition project made every effort to preserve existing trees. Where needed, the demolition project protected the trees along the boulevard.
The project began in fall 2024 and was completed in fall 2025.
