dbo:abstract
  • Edmonton Northlands, operating as Northlands, was a non-profit volunteer organization in Edmonton, Alberta. The organization owned exhibition grounds in northeast Edmonton collectively known as the Edmonton Northlands, which included venues such as the Northlands Park raceway, the Edmonton Expo Centre, and Rexall Place–the former home of the Edmonton Oilers. The organization also hosted the annual exhibition K-Days, and the agricultural show Farmfair International. Northlands began to decline in the 2010s after the construction of a new downtown arena—Rogers Place—which is operated by the Oilers, and took on most of the major indoor events that had previously been held at Rexall Place. The organization had also taken out a $48 million loan to cover a recent expansion of the Expo Centre. After a failed proposal to redevelop Northlands Park, Rexall Place, and add a 5,000-seat arena to the Expo Centre, Northlands transferred the Expo Centre (via Edmonton Economic Development Corporation) and Rexall Place to the city (which forgave its debt in return) on January 1, 2018, leaving it to focus on its exhibitions. Amid further economic issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Northlands was dissolved on July 5, 2021. (en)
