The Bennett Centre

The Bennett Centre is located in the heart of Edmonton’s river valley and is a unique destination for field trips, day retreats, weddings, and overnight group accommodations.

Due to public health measures related to COVID-19, our program offering has changed. We are offering programs for grades 4-6 through Edukits only. Junior high and senior high programs as well as school overnight programs are currently unavailable. The Bennett Centre is also closed to walk-in visitors. For facility bookings, we are continuing to follow AHS guidelines regarding gatherings. Please contact the Bennett Centre through Metro Continuing Education at 780-428-1111 or email metro@epsb.ca for more information.

Thank you for your understanding.

 
The Bennett Centre is operated in partnership with Metro Continuing Education.

Newly renovated, gorgeous venue 

Our dining room was recently renovated and it looks spectacular! Our rustic furniture, fireplace and finishings make for the perfect atmosphere for your next event. More information on our Retreats & Rentals page.

School Programs

We provide hands-on school programs that actively engage students on specific grade-level curriculum. Students work towards developing cooperation skills, team work and personal initiative through day trips, overnight stays and travelling school programs.

Our school programs take place at the Bennett Centre and its satellite site, Thelma Chalifoux School.

The Bennett Centre is a beautiful, central location to host weddings, business meetings and retreats, and is available for overnight large group accommodation. We have a full catering menu, extensive outdoor grounds, four-bed dorm rooms and a variety of breakout rooms to meet your needs.
