Book your next meeting or corporate event at the Alfred H. Savage Centre!

Conveniently located in Whitemud Park next to the beauty of Edmonton’s river valley, the Alfred H.

Savage Centre serves as a hub for community rentals and events. No matter the occasion, the

wide, naturally lit space of the Aspen Room is suitable for anything from meetings, to corporate

retreats, to small weddings and more. The Aspen Room seats 175 non-fixed seating, and 109 for

dining and beverages.

The building is named after Alfred Savage, Commissioner of Public Affairs for the City of Edmonton

between 1974 and 1981. He was a driving force behind City facilities such as the Muttart

Conservatory and the John Janzen Nature Centre.

Throughout the year, the Alfred H. Savage Centre is a hub for outdoor education and

environmental programs such as orienteering or snowshoeing. This space is also often used for

community gatherings.

The Centre is built to LEED Silver standards (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).

Achieving this standard reflects the City of Edmonton’s The Way We Green strategy.

In addition to being LEED certified, this building also uses geothermal heating, water use reduction

methods, reflective roofing, and exterior light fixtures that point downward for less pollution.

The Centre is also wheelchair accessible, and has a bookable private room.

The Centre supplies all of the tables and chairs, although to keep rental fees down we do have the

client complete their own room set up and take down. This way the client can set up the space to best

suit their individual needs.

If the client prefers the Centre does the set up and take down of the tables and chairs, this can be

arranged, for a fee of $75.00 per hour for each set up and take down. Client must provide a confirmed

floor plan at least two weeks prior to the event.

Clients are welcome to use any caterer of their choice as we do not impose any restrictions nor do we

have catering surcharges. You will need to confirm with your caterer that any supplies and or

equipment they needs to be dropped off or picked up will have to be done during the times of your

rental as the facility is not staffed on a regular basis.
