Jubilee Plaza opening date set for November 29

A downtown square meant for festivals, concerts and other events is set to open at the end of the month. The RMWB is welcoming the public to Jubilee Plaza Nov. 29, and it’s inviting the community to celebrate.

City Centre McMurray’s $16.9 million catalyst project will eventually include an outdoor stage and skating rink. However, balmy temperatures are preventing crews from having the rink ready in time for the opening and the stage is still being fabricated.

A regional showcase space worth $3 million is made for community events, meetings and for people to walk through and learn more about what’s happening in Wood Buffalo. The indoor space will also host community engagement sessions.  It’s set to open in the spring, alongside a cafe the municipality is still looking for someone to operate.

A full programming calendar will be released soon.
