Can wedding pictures be taken in the Legislature Building?
Because the Legislature Building is a place of business and tours of the Legislature Building run year-round, it makes it difficult to allow groups to take wedding photos in the building. However, photos are allowed outside on the steps of the Legislature Building and grounds. For more information call 780-427-4849 or e-mail: visitorinfo@assembly.ab.ca.

Do you provide free pins for tourists?
No. Because of the volume of people who visit the Alberta Legislature Building each year, we are unable to provide free pins. However, you can purchase pins and other gift items at the Legislative Assembly Gift Shop. You can also contact your city councillor, MLA or MP; they may be able to provide you with pins or flags.
