If you’re shopping online, take advantage of this deal by calling your store to arrange an appointment to mount your bindings before you visit. Our ski techs get busy, and we don’t want to let you down.

Reservations are highly recommended for holidays and weekends. Read our rental policies and procedures for information on reservations.

Some gear may only be available to rent at certain times of the year. When there’s snow on the ground, that’s usually when we swap out summer gear with winter gear (like skis or snowshoes). Take a look online to see what’s available for your preferred dates.

MEC Edmonton will join the co-op’s growing portfolio of high-performance green buildings.

The purpose-built building incorporates key elements of MEC’s renewed architectural brand, including a distinctive floating canopy to mark the store’s entrance and wood-infused interiors to define the store and display merchandise. It recognizes the history of the previous brewery building by incorporating a brown brick façade, for example. To acknowledge the wider region, silo material has been used on the exterior of the structure, paying homage to the prairies.

A standout feature of the new store is the saw-tooth roof, comprised of steel trusses, as well as high windows, allowing the upper floor to be flooded with natural daylight. The entire store will benefit from ample natural light with over 2,500 square feet of windows.

The retail space is spread over two floors and connected by a floating staircase.

Like all MEC buildings, we’re proud to say that this store will be operationally carbon neutral, using renewable energy. The store has been built to achieve a minimum of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver certification. Green building features include:

• The high-performance building envelope has an R60 rating for roof and walls, as well as high-spec glazing on the windows.
• The store will be heated with radiant floor natural gas boilers; a fresh air heat exchanger that is 95% efficient will be installed on the roof. The store will also feature a hot water solar preheating system with high-performance vacuum tube solar collectors.
• Fresh air ventilation will be supplied based on CO2 concentration to reduce energy consumption. The store will be metering water, gas, electricity for energy audit purposes.
• Energy-efficient LED lighting is installed in 100% of the retails areas and throughout the majority of the store; stock rooms are equipped with high-efficiency fluorescent lighting fixtures.
• The site includes a rainwater harvesting system, designed to provide greywater for toilet flushing and landscape irrigation; however, the City of Edmonton doesn’t allow greywater systems at this point, but the system is ready to be put to use once the city allows it.

We purchase Green Electricity Certificates and Green Natural Gas Certificates from Bullfrog Power. Bullfrog procures renewable energy (wind, micro-hydro and biogas) on our behalf for electricity and natural gas.

MEC aims to maximize efficiency and minimize environmental impacts in our stores. Learn more about our green buildings.
