Eau Claire Market opened in 1993 as Calgary ’s attempt to replicate the popular Granville Island Public Market in Vancouver .

The indoor market saw some early success, but tenants claimed the city imposed unrealistic demand on retailers.

It was officially closed and boarded up last spring , shortly after a final farewell celebration was held on May 11, 2024 .

The city took possession of the 170,000-square-foot indoor property on May 31 , securing and boarding up the site.
