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.
