Downtown Renewal - Wyndham St. and St. George's Square

A sub-project of the Downtown Infrastructure Renewal Program

The Phase 1: Wyndham Street North Reconstruction project is the first detailed design and construction project in the Downtown Infrastructure Renewal Program. This project was informed by the Wyndham Street Environmental Assessment (EA) and is the first phase identified in the upcoming Capital Implementation Plan (which outlines the construction sequencing).

This project runs in tandem with construction planning and implementation for the fulsome Downtown Infrastructure Renewal Program, and the study and design process for the Macdonell Bridge and Allan's Dam structure project.

Construction along Wellington Street East occurred in the summer of 2025 to lay the groundwork for new infrastructure along Wyndham N. and gas and power utility upgrades have been happening in sections of Downtown to prepare for the larger Construction which began March 30, 2025 and is moving through Wyndham street over the course of the next four months. Construction areas will re-open in stages as roads are complete to a level to allow traffic. All Wyndham Street construction is expected to complete in 2028.

Final designs and preparing for construction

October 17, 2025 4:00 AM - April 1, 2026 4:00 AM

Back in the fall, we had presented a detailed design for St. George's Square. We heard a lot of really valuable feedback on those designs, so we had made changes based on what we've heard. We're really excited about where these final designs are headed and it's all thanks to community feedback!


Council approved the final design on December 16, 2025. You can read the full report and watch the presentation, delegations and council deliberation on our website.

Over that winter, the project team worked on more detailed construction plans and providing information and supports to the community and Downtown businesses. those supports will continue and evolve throughout the rest of the process.
