The Peace Memorial Centre was constructed in 1948 in memory of local Second World War Veterans. It was designed by Patrick Campbell-Hope who was born in Wadebridge, Co. Cornwall, England on 17 February 1908. He emigrated to Canada in 1924 and settled in Edmonton.
Patrick became a qualified member of the Alberta Association of Architects in January 1940 and opened his own office in Edmonton, but suspended his activity in early 1942 in order to join the Royal Canadian Air Force. He served both in Canada and overseas as a Flight Engineer and Flying Officer. After his discharge in December 1945, he re-opened his architectural office in Edmonton and was responsible for the design of dozens of buildings throughout central Alberta.
In 1999, the Peace Memorial Multiplex was constructed to honour all Veterans who served.
