Telus Convention Centre is a large convention centre located in Downtown Calgary, Alberta. This building commonly holds galas and expos. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the centre was used as a mass vaccination clinic, the largest in Alberta. The centre has two buildings. The South Building was opened in 1974, and the North Building opened its doors in 2000. The building was fully renovated in 2000, and received a new fire alarm system that same year. The system is serviced by Viking Fire Protection Inc.

The buildings are protected by an Edwards EST3 addressable fire alarm system. The panel is located at the main entrance. The system runs EST’s Signature-series addressable protocol, and is configured for two stage operation. It does a 20BPM chime in first stage, followed by march time in general alarm.
