Scotia Place is a large group of office buildings in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It was finished in 1983. You can find it at 10060 Jasper Avenue in the middle of Downtown Edmonton.

Many companies have their offices here. Some of these include Grant Thornton and Ernst & Young. The complex is named after Scotiabank.

The tallest building in the group is called Scotia 1. It has 28 floors and stands about 113 meters (371 feet) tall. The second building, Scotia 2, has 21 floors and is about 88 meters (289 feet) tall.

Exploring Scotia Place: The Pedway System

Edmonton has a special indoor walkway system called the Edmonton Pedway. This system helps people travel around downtown without going outside. It is very useful during cold winters or hot summers.

Scotia Place is connected to this pedway system. This means you can walk directly from Scotia Place to other buildings. These include Commerce Place and Enbridge Centre. You can also reach the Edmonton LRT (light rail transit) system easily from inside Scotia Place.
