Canada Place in downtown Edmonton was closed to tenants and the public on Thursday and will remain closed on Friday as well.
A spokesperson for the federal government confirmed to CTV News Edmonton the building was closed because of a leak in the hot water system and lack of heat in the building.
“Assessments are underway to determine the scope of the issue, as well as a timeline for repairs,” Nicole Allen wrote in an email.
The closure could impact passport pickups for some Edmontonians as a strike by Canada Post continues.
The Service Canada website says the building is scheduled to reopen on Monday.
