Old Strathcona History
A Provincial Historic Areawhat do a train and a wide and deep
river valley have in common? in 1891, they were the combination
that created a new settlement in the edmonton area.When the Calgary
and Edmonton Railway made its way to the southern bank of the North
Saskatchewan River, it deemed the bridging of the valley to the
Edmonton side a prohibitive expenditure. It was much easier to end
the train line on the south side and to create another community.
The settlement of South Edmonton started with the train station,
the South Edmonton Hotel (now the Strathcona Hotel) and a main
street named after William Whyte, the Vice-President of the
Canadian Pacific Railway.
strathcona votes to amalgamate with edmontonThe 1910-1912 boom
more than tripled the population of the area and both
municipalities struggled with housing and infrastructure. It became
obvious that a joint effort would work better. After some
interesting negotiations, the citizens of Strathcona voted for
amalgamation with Edmonton and in 1912, the City of Strathcona
ceased to exist.
strathcona becomes a cityOver the next few years, both Edmonton
and South Edmonton experienced an influx of settlers. Some bought
supplies for their new homesteads and moved on, others stayed to
make a new life in one of the settlements. By 1899, there were
enough people living on the south side that the settlement was
incorporated as the town of Strathcona. Even more people began
taking the train west looking for new opportunities and in 1907,
the town became the City of Strathcona. Pioneer families prospered
and erected buildings with their family names proudly inscribed on
the facades. Alberta became a province in 1905 and the first
premier, A.C. Rutherford, lived and practiced law in Strathcona. It
was his influence that established the University of Alberta in
Strathcona making it the University City.
Provincial status for the areaThis work was recognized when
Edmonton City Council, represented by Mayor Mandel, requested
provincial heritage status for Old Strathcona. The Honourable
Hector Goudreau, Minister of Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture
established the Old Strathcona Provincial Historic Area on January
30, 2007.
saved by citizen actionWith the infamous boom and bust cycles of
the Alberta economy, there were periods of intense development
pressure. As a result of the 1970s oil boom, most of the north side
heritage building stock was lost to high rise development. At the
same time, south side was threatened with a large roadway project
that would not only pave over the river valley but would take down
the heritage buildings for a twelve lane freeway to the new
development of Mill Woods. It took a concerted citizen effort that
included the heritage community, the university, several
residential communities and the newly formed Old Strathcona
Foundation to stop the roadways and to begin work on revitalizing
one of Canadas most significant communities.
marking the heritage areaTo mark the heritage area and to tell
the story of Old Strathcona, the City of Edmonton has installed
banners throughout and special sidewalk coins have been designed.
The four entrances to the historic area will have plaques with
different information. These are located at 81 Avenue and 104
Street; 83 Avenue and 104 Street; 105 Street and Whyte Avenue; and
103 Street (Gateway Blvd.) and Whyte Avenue.

which bring the recording studio into any persons living room. When
it comes to musical instruments, Clarke says the biggest sellers

youre buying them from people whose musical knowledge runs deep.

a five star hotel in India to create the fresh, upscale, inspired
fare available for lunch and dinner, with tempting buffets for
each. The building is a must-see spectacle in itself. A designer
created the decor with sumptuous details, from the high end
automatic features and top quality restaurant fittings to the
stainless steel baby changing station for the smallest of
customers. daawat authentic East Indian cuisine, also in Old
Strathcona, offers the truly authentic food of Northern Indias
Punjab. The majority of Daawats fare is vegetarian with some
savoury meat selections. We dont westernize even our buffet. We
keep the spices and selections authentic, notes Deep Saprai,
Manager. The restaurant is locally family-owned. The majority of
things we have at the restaurant are things my mom would make, says
Saprai. A musttry are the four mouth watering warm naan bread

Animals on the Avewritten by Barbara north
AniMAls at worKOld Strathcona is renowned as a hip place that
comes alive with people and animals. As a decidedly animal friendly
area, canine clientele will find plenty of dog bowls along the
Avenue. Adding to the local fun, flavour, and fur is Elly-Mae, a
resident Weimaraner dog at laurels on whyte. This fun, funky gift
shop is not only the place to find eclectic, one-of-a-kind gifts,
but also the friendly one year-old canine who suns herself in the
window. Says Cindy Bugiak, the boss daughter, EllyMae loves to
greet customers especially on Saturdays when people have bags of
sausage from the Farmers Market. When exhausted from a hard day of
greetings, Elly-Mae lies on her pillow to let her human friends its
time to go home. wee Book Inn also has a furry friend at work.
Bunny is a docile thirteen year-old Himalayan cat who lures people
in by lying luxuriously in the stores sun-drenched window. There
are lots of people who come in to see the cat and dont even care
about our books! says Kalea Turner-Beckman, who works at the
bookstore alongside Bunny. Adding character to the already
colourful district are the strathcona hotels resident cat, and dog
friends at top Gear scooters, the Beauty Parlour and wish list,
among many others.

when searching for those really neat, quirky special something
gifts, shoppers are flocking to old strathconas one-of-a-kind
boutiques.Gifts of imaginationShoppers will discover gift
selections beyond their wildest imagination in stores such as when
Pigs Fly. According to store owner, Jenny Sherwin, both tourists
and locals alike are always looking for unforgettable Edmonton
mementos, and the stores name itself suggest whimsical selection.
The shops current bestsellers are artisan pieces where customers
can get a biography on the gift items maker. Popular favourites
include artisan pottery and jewellery. People want to get to know
the artist behind the piece. They soak up bios! says Sherwin.
Sherwin notes that its a colourful bunch of people who shop in the
Old Strathcona area and being on Whyte Avenue helps the stores
funky appeal. If Whyte Ave had big box stores it would lose its
uniqueness, says Sherwin. The store also supports local artists and
likes to keep products Canadian made. If you have anyone whos hard
to buy for, When Pigs Fly is the perfect boutique. Its like
Christmas here every day. You never know what youre going see, says
Sherwin.
Gifts of WonderIn a district known for unique, family owned
shops, the tin Box fits right in Old Strathcona with its eclectic,
fun and beautiful gift selections. The stores exciting inventory is

inventory is ever-evolving. Were not constrained to being a

weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and showers. We cater to people

Gifts of mindAnother destination for treasured gifts is the Wee
Book Inn. For almost 40 years, the Wee Book Inn has been a fixture
on Whyte Avenue, offering the best in
newer books, and now also movie and music selections. It prides
itself on being an exceptionally clean, organized and friendly
bookstore with a vast selection. And of course the stores unique

old strathcona is actually a lot like you: theres a lot more to
it than meets the eye.On the surface, this district is full of fun,
frivolity, fashion, and fantastic shopping. But life here isnt just
about funky restaurants, coffee shops, and hangin out. There are
many businesses that put a firm focus on making sure youve got all
the basics covered. Need your car cleaned? Need a website designed
for your new business? Need insurance for your car, your business,
your home, or a trip youre looking to take? (Old Strathcona has a
grand total of seven insurance companies, like Canada Brokerlink
and more.) No matter what your needs are, its important to know
that, practically around the corner of any street or avenue in Old
Strathcona, youll find a business thats ready and willing to serve
you.

atmosphere.
car cateringCater to your car (or truck) at a wide array of
shops that make sure your vehicle is in top order. There are body
shops, car dealerships (in case you ever want to trade up), and if
you need a fast oil change, theres lube-X. Specializing in light
maintenance that isnt mechanical in nature, Lube-X started just
over 20 years ago, with six stores in Edmonton. Its Whyte Avenue
location is one of the original six. Its owner and operator, Dennis
Silver, is a proud Edmontonian. I was born here, says Silver. I
take pride in my work and like being able to help my neighbours. In
his years working on Whyte Avenue, Silver finds that an Old
Strathcona shopper expects quality and good service. They enjoy the
uniqueness of
New mediaThe face of the world is changing, rapidly. Less than
two decades ago, terms like email and the net werent part of common
lingo in offices and homes. Now everyone is texting and abuzz about
social media and whatever new technological trends are popping up.
The face of Old Strathcona is changing too, as software designers,
web developers, and graphics artists are making the lifestyle (and
business) choice to make the Whyte Avenue area their home. We
wanted to move out of the bustle of downtown, says Gillian Harvey,
principal and designer with Plumbheavy, a graphic design company.
They chose Old Strathcona, says Harvey, because we really liked the
area. Its a totally different dynamic than downtown laid-back,
funky. Its the complete package. Its got everything.

enrich your life. take a stroll through old strathcona. You
never know exactly where it will take you!
By everything, Harvey means that the Old Strathcona district is
perfectly fitted to the lifestyle of a busy graphic designer. You
can go and get a massage or run down into the river valley for a 25
minute break, she explains. Theres a vibrant arts community, great
live music, good food, yoga studios and even places to go and get
your teeth cleaned. Its certainly a great place to work.
the adventure travel company in Old Strathcona could mean the
beginning of something incredible. Adventure travel, according to
Valerie Landals, manager/sales, is going off the beaten path
perhaps to places that take a little more thought to get to. A lot
of the Adventure Travel Companys customers fly off to Asia, India,
Australia, and into South America, going up to Machu Picchu. A
standard adventure traveler (if there is such a thing) might go on
a holiday anywhere from two weeks to a full year. We offer a work
abroad program that helps people get work Visas in those countries,
so they can spend a year in the country and work, says Landals. In
other words, its a far cry from going to an all-inclusive resort
where the food is no different than it is at home. Our customers
travel to enrich their lives with a real cultural experience,
Landals says.

productions that are nothing short of small-scale spectacles. In a
converted warehouse in the heart of Old Strathconas theatre
district, Catalyst Theatre creates uniquely stunning independent
productions. The visually captivating Frankenstein is noted for its
remarkable ensemble of eight actors who play some forty characters,
and for haunting original melodies, as well as a ghoulishly funny

finest contemporary theatreshadow theatre not only offers the
best in contemporary productions from around the world, it also
develops local works from home grown genius. Artistic Director John
Hudson says, We see plays from idea to production. We help to
nurture the projects along. In the 2010/2011 season watch for the
Canadian premiere of the fabulous comedy, Women Who Steal. Also
watch for Meat Puppet, a Northern Light Theatre co-production in
January 2011, and David Belkes engrossing drama, Next Years Man of
Steel in March 2011. Of Shadows productions, which run at
the Varscona Theatre, Hudson notes, These are really great
contemporary stories that will speak to people who are looking for
outstanding entertainment. Theres a magic that happens that you
just cant match.
