Olympic Plaza

Built for the 1988 Winter Olympics medal ceremonies, Olympic Plaza is a civic landmark beside Calgary's cultural district. The plaza is undergoing a major transformation.

Olympic Plaza

Why go

Its Olympic history explains why this block became a downtown gathering place beside performance venues and the Burns Building. For now, appreciate that context from surrounding public streets and plan a return only after checking the City's current project and access information.

What to look for

  • The site recalls the 1988 Winter Olympics medal ceremonies.
  • The Burns Building and cultural venues frame the surrounding district.

Useful to know

  • Check the City's Olympic Plaza transformation page before planning a visit.
  • Do not plan skating or an event stop while the plaza is closed for redevelopment.
