Hudson's Bay is a Canadian department store chain. This particular store is located at 200 8 Avenue Southwest, in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This is the flagship store for the City of Calgary. The store opened in 1913, and has been renovated several times, notably in 1993. The fire alarm system was installed in the 2000s. The notification appliances remain from the previous system.
