The Edmonton Power Historical Foundation is a non-profit society dedicated to preserving the history of electric power in the City of Edmonton and the Province of Alberta, for the education and entertainment of current and future generations, by collecting, restoring and displaying related artifacts and documents.
The Edmonton Power Historical Foundation began as a group of former and current employees of Edmonton's electrical utility. It was established as a non-profit society in 1989, with its primary objective being to focus its energies on a variety of activities that are all geared towards preserving the history of electric power in the City of Edmonton.
These activities include collecting and cataloging photographs, documents and artifacts that describe electrical progress over the years. Displays of artifacts are available for public viewing in the downtown office building of EPCOR (the local electric utility) and on the grounds of the Leduc West Antique Society.
The Foundation's current mission goes beyond the original ties to Edmonton Power, now focusing its energies on a variety of activities that are all geared towards preserving the history of the industry in general, and how it has helped shape the economy of the Province of Alberta.
