The Quarters: Downtown’s Revival Starts Here
What is RenewYEG?
Advocacy Tourism Destination
East Downtown reimagined —
a bold blueprint powered by culture, creativity, and community.
The Quarters has waited long enough. Now, the conditions are finally right.
With major infrastructure announcements on the horizon — from the Winspear Expansion and Ironworks Revitalization to the LRT buildout and long-anticipated infill projects — East Downtown is entering a defining era.
We’re stepping in as partners — mobilizing advocacy, cultural leadership, and entrepreneurial drive to activate this district with intention and integrity.
This isn’t about vague promises or stalled plans. It’s about building trust, opening doors, and realizing the full potential of a vibrant, walkable, and culturally rich heart of Edmonton.
