Yorath House

Yorath House, one of the City of Edmonton’s newest 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 corporate retreats, weddings, community programs, and family-friendly events in the river valley. Built in 1949, the two-story family home was occupied by the Yorath family until 1992 when it was sold to the City.
