Event Details

Matthew Dutczak, Mall Historian

A little retail therapy to start the year! The history of the West Edmonton Mall, including sights and attractions that have disappeared over the years. Recent history counts!

In 1981, what would eventually become the world’s largest shopping mall opened its doors for the first time. Exlpore the story of West Edmonton Mall: its growth, its attractions, and its evolution. And how a north-central Alberta city, with a population of only half a million people, became home to the world’s largest mall.
