yorath House

Yorath House, one of the City's rental facilities, is located in Buena Vista Park, adjacent to Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park and the Edmonton Valley Zoo. As part of the Buena Vista/Sir Wilfrid Laurier Park Master Plan, redevelopment of this historical residence, believed to be one of the few remaining homes located on the river flats, provides a truly unique facility for weddings in the river valley. Built in 1949, the two-storey family home was occupied by the Yorath family until 1992, when it was sold to the City. The redeveloped house includes a main floor wedding space, a second floor multi-purpose space with a large terrace, a second-floor meeting room with small terrace and a large outdoor wedding space.
