List of shopping malls in Canada facts for kids

Kids Encyclopedia Facts

Canada has many amazing shopping malls! These are places where you can find lots of stores, restaurants, and sometimes even fun entertainment all in one spot.

Canada's very first indoor mall was the Lister Block, which opened way back in 1852 in Hamilton, Ontario. It was later rebuilt in 1924 after a fire, and then completely rebuilt again in 2011.

The first shopping mall in Canada was the Norgate shopping centre. It opened in 1949 in Saint-Laurent, Montreal, Quebec. This was a "strip mall," meaning stores were lined up next to each other with parking in front. The first "enclosed" shopping mall, where all the stores are inside one big building, was the Park Royal Shopping Centre in West Vancouver, British Columbia. It opened just one year later, in 1950. As of 2017, Canada has over 3,700 enclosed and strip malls that are bigger than 40,000 square feet (3,700 m2).
