Territorial Court House

Between 1888 and 1905, the Government of Canada built a dozen court houses to serve the new settlements on the prairies. Most of these buildings were phased out of service and eventually demolished following the implementation of Provincial Court systems in Saskatchewan and Alberta in 1907. The Fort MacLeod Court House was an exception. Completed in 1904 as a Territorial court house, it remained in service until 1971. It is the oldest court house in Alberta and one of the few buildings surviving from the period of Territorial administration on the prairies.

Palais de justice territorial

De 1888 à 1905, le Gouvernement canadien a construit une dizaine de Palais de justice dans les nouvelles localités des prairies. Après la création des Tribunaux provinciaux de la Saskatchewan et de l’Alberta, en 1907, on a cessé graduellement d’utiliser la plupart de ces bâtiments et on les a démolis par la suite. Celui de Fort MacLeod fait exception. Complété en 1904, il a servi jusqu’en 1971. C’est le plus vieux Palais de justice de l’Alberta et l’un des rares bâtiments remontant à l’époque de l’administration territoriale des Prairies.
