Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium News
June 2008

Thank you for the lovely gifts!

Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium

It has been a grand year of celebration. Thank you to everyone who submitted stories — take time, if you haven’t already, to read what has been shared on our website. Your memories are funny, warm, and nostalgic.

It has been wonderful, sharing 50 years with Albertans. Here at the Northern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium, we are looking forward to the next 50.

Speaking of looking forward — this summer sees the Auditorium receive further improvements.

Those washrooms you asked for? They are on the way. Construction on the restroom additions began in April. Renovations to the existing restrooms will begin when the new restrooms are complete and operational. The new restrooms and the renovations will almost double the current main floor washroom capacity.

Construction Underway

Also on the way are a new stage floor and the completion of the parking structure. A short shutdown of the facility will be required this summer to accommodate the stage floor replacement. Currently booked performances will not be affected. It is our hope that these improvements will address some of the concerns we have heard from you over the past few years.
