The government of Alberta is offering Albertans the chance to give their condolences to the Royal Family.

Residents can send online messages, or scroll through a photo gallery curated by the Alberta government by clicking here. Albertans can visit one of eight provincial buildings across the province to write handwritten condolence.

The eight public buildings Albertans can visit to write a condolence to the Royal Family are:

Weekdays and weekends from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

  • Alberta legislature: 10800 97 Avenue NW, Edmonton
  • Government House: 12845 102 Avenue NW, Edmonton
  • McDougall Centre: 455 6 Street SW, Calgary

Weekdays only 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

  • Medicine Hat Provincial Building: 346 3rd Street SE
  • Lethbridge Provincial Building: 200 5 Avenue S
  • Red Deer Provincial Building: 4920 51 Street
  • Grande Prairie Provincial Building: 10320 99 Street
  • Fort McMurray Provincial Building: 9915 Franklin Avenue

Premier, Jason Kenny said in a press release “For many of us, Her Majesty is the only monarch we’ve ever known, essential to our identity as Albertans and Canadians. In this period of mourning, let’s come together in expressing our compassion and support for the Royal Family, whose devastating loss we share.”

The Alberta government also asks you don’t bring flowers to leave at public buildings, as they will be removed to allow safe access to the building and perimeter.

Instead, they would like residents to consider donating to one of Her Majesty’s charities such as the Canada Red Cross Society or the Canadian Cancer Society.
