This is one of the few registry offices that actually want to help you out. Although the office is…read morein an older strip mall, you don't walk in to large lineups of less than pleasant people taking all of your personal information. I was dealt with pleasantly and helped out with the importing of a vehicle from the US. They gave me answers and advice and sent me on my way. I will be back there again soon to register the vehicle I purchased.

My visit today was prompted by Yelp reviews of Registry offices in the Edmonton area. I required…read moresome searches specific to enforcing a court judgement. A previous visit to the Registry office closest to my home in Stony Plain was an effort in futility. The line was moderate when I arrived and I had to wait for a bit. There was a sign posted explaining they were short staff due to summer holidays. I'm glad I got there after the lunch rush and not near the end of the month. When I got to the front of the line I realized I was dealing with the Manager. Shanon was very friendly, she understood EXACTLY what I was looking for and was very eager to help. It is indeed a pleasure to deal with a business that understand the needs of their customer. (Possibly even better than I did.) The only thing I would change is the number of people available to help customers. But this is Alberta in the summer which makes this a difficult task. The time Shanon spent with me along with her knowledge and patience pretty much ensures that my future Registry business will be done here.

On Canada Place - you are full of so many things that take my money ;-)…read more Useful but inconvenient. Parking is atrociously expensive if you have to drive here. If you can LRT it, that's a good plan but I feel ya in the cold blizzard winter months, parking it is. At least Revel is located next door if you manage to come here in the late afternoon and can hit happy hour next door afterwards. Be prepared to wait for days, well more likely hours but it feels like days when you're needing help at the passport office. Immigration and citizenship are also handled here - spent many, many hours here but thankfully that's done! As well as taxes, yuck. There are pedways connected to many other spots here including the Shaw Convention centre. In the basement is a small food court but it's PRICEY - why? Why can't you just have a subway or something delicious and reasonable like that?

This is probably not my favourite place to be in. However, you can get your criminal record check…read moredone here but they do not accept cash, credit, or debit. Only certified cheque or money order. Coming in this place you also need to pick up a number ticket and wait for your number in the lobby wait area before you get called up. Unfortunately, I came in for minor vehicle collision so be prepared to file a statement like a paragraph, bring your drivers license, insurance, and car registration. Hopefully you'll get a easy going staff like the one I encountered. Parking space seems to be limited for the number of chairs in the lobby. I'd come here again since it looks well kept but only for simple stuff. Whatever your case may be, take it easy.

This is without a doubt the best EPS location in Edmonton. Very clean and professional atmosphere,…read moreand front front desk officer who helped me was exceptionally courteous and kind. After practically being told to quit wasting the time of the officers I dealt with at the downtown and West side stations in an attempt to file a minor collision report after not being able to get the other driver's insurance information, the officer I dealt with here took the time to fully understand my situation and ensure the report was thoroughly completed regardless of the fact they were very busy at the time.

The only…read morecomplaint is that all the employees spoke their native language to each other in front of the clients, so it was very unpleasant to hear. I think that if you live and work in Canada and the official language is English, you should use it, especially in public places like this.

I mean, I'm not going to say this place is "as good as it gets", because we know that when people…read morecome here it typically isn't for anything good. No one wants to spend their day here, but I do find that there are ways to make your life easier. Courthouse 101 For starters: If you're in 365, 268, or 265 there are volunteers from the Elizabeth Fry Society wearing purple vests that are there to help YOU! Anything that you might need. They are also at the front desk on the provincial side. - Kiosks are there to help you - put your last name in and find your courtroom. If it doesn't show up, go to the information desk on the first floor. They will point you in the right direction. - Legal Aid offices are on the 2nd and 4th floors at the end. You may have better luck on the 4th floor as there are more people working there. - Emergency Protection Orders are on the provincial side in front of courtroom 268 - if you're unable to wait for an EPO at court you can go to any police station and file one. - Native Counseling is located on the provincial side in front of courtroom 356 - Law library is located on the second floor - There is a cafe in the basement (provincial) - Witness check in is typically located in front of courtroom 356 (provincial) - Traffic court is on the first floor in front of the doorways (provincial main lobby) - Queen's Bench is through the glass doors past the TV screens - EFry offers bus passes and snacks for those in need - office is on the 4th floor on the provincial side. Even though it is a daunting process, it doesn't have to me. I wholeheartedly recommend relying on those from the EFry Society if you are confused. Hopefully this helps a few people!

I was actually the first to review this outhouse on the weekend it opened, but my review was taken…read moredown. However, Paul's review is very thorough and I would only add one thing. The doors on the ladies stalls don't come down far enough to properly cover you when you are seated on the throne. I realize due to security, the patrons need to be visible at all times. I can pretty much see your undies when I'm walking or driving by. If you are going to use the toilet, wear pretty underwear at least.

I wonder if this is the first Yelp review of a public toilet building? Perhaps I am making Yelp…read morehistory here! The Whyte Avenue Public Washrooms were built in 2012 at a public cost of $536,000 to address concerns of inebriated bar patrons using public and private property to relieve themselves after leaving the bars. They initially were open 24 hrs/day but the hours have been scaled back a bit so they are now closed a few hours after the bars let out. They have been designed intentionally to have glass walls so that you can see into them which provides users with a sense of safety and also discourages any negative activity from going on inside. They also are only heated to +5C in winter and have no summer air conditioning to discourage people from loitering inside. Besides serving the after bar crowd the majority of users are the daytime shoppers and passer-bys. The public perception of the washrooms varies. Some people love them and some hate them. I'm sure the residents that live in and around the area like them especially if they are seeing less public urination around their homes and properties. Here is one article on the washrooms: http://www2.canada.com/edmontonjournal/news/story.html?id=19372ecf-ec64-4e1b-b047-8591a41d261d Also, a local documentary film maker did a short film called iCup (get it..."I See You Pee) regarding the washrooms for an Air Canada En Route magazine film contest. Not sure how he did in the contest or if it is available online to view any longer. Personally I think having these public washrooms available is a good thing. I'm not a late-night bar patron on Whyte Ave much these days so my chance of using these in the nighttime is probably slim to none. I have stopped in during the day to use them once and felt fine using it. Facilities like these are more popular in Europe but I think we may see more of these cropping up in Canada. I think that Edmonton has probably been used as a testing ground on how to design one of these to operate in -30 to -40C temperatures. It will be interesting to see these become more popular in Canadian urban centres.
