Telus Convention Centre is a large convention centre located at 136 8 Ave SE 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.

System Specifications

FACP

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.

Annunciators

There are several EST3-LCDANN annunciators throughout the facility. The one in the front desk has an EST 3-REMICA mic on it.

Notification Appliances

Most notification appliances are Edwards 965-7A-4RW speaker/strobes (white, ceiling-mount, 4”, 15/75cd). One hallway has Edwards 965-5A-4RW speaker/strobes (white, ceiling-mount, 15cd, 4") on the walls. The North Building hallways have Edwards “Integrity” 202-5A-T remote strobes (red, wall-mount, 15cd) for extra coverage, as well as 965-1A-4RW (white, 4" ceiling mount) speakers for additional sound coverage.
