Housing Forward takes place at the Edmonton Convention Centre:

We are finalizing a hotel room block for conference delegates and will share booking details soon. The JW Marriott Edmonton ICE District, Sutton Place Hotel, and Westin Edmonton are all within walking distance of the Convention Centre. See the Plan Your Visit page for more information.

Thursday's optional tours will visit three Edmonton housing projects: McArthur Place (a 50-unit modular supportive housing development operated by NiGiNan Housing Ventures), Parkside North (HomeEd's accessible townhome development in the Griesbach community), and Grace Village (a 175-unit net-zero ready supportive housing development operated by The Salvation Army). Final tour details and timing will be confirmed in April 2026. Transportation to and from all sites is provided.

The Edmonton Convention Centre is within walking distance of many nearby parking lots and parkades. In addition to metered parking along Jasper Avenue and connected side streets, there are three nearby parkades/surface parking lots just next to the venue.

We recommend parking at the Canada Place parkade, which is directly connected to the Convention Centre via underground pedway.

Alternatively, there are several surface lots around the venue for parking:

Grierson Hill / Louise McKinney - Located across from the Convention Centre on Grierson Hill. *Not wheelchair accessible.
