The Calendar of Wishes

Located in downtown Edmonton, doors on the Calendar of Wishes will open to reveal a wish that has been granted. Whimsical and inspiring, the advent calendar has been developed to increase awareness of the stories that fuel the passion of Make-A-Wish® Northern Alberta and demonstrate that each wish is as unique and special as the child who wished for it.

Located in Make-A-Wish® Northern Alberta’s own “Winter Wish Square” (Abbey Glen Park: 10107 – 10147 Jasper Avenue and indoor at Commerce Place), the fourth annual Calendar of Wishes will launch November 29th and actively run until December 24th. Once the closing ceremony has concluded, Edmontonians will have the chance to stop and enjoy the calendar until January 7th.

Doors will open each day at noon.


Don’t miss the closing ceremonies for this year’s calendar.



We will close out another successful season of wish granting with the help of some very special people and our community partners.
