Some eyebrows were raised in the architectural community at the selection of Douglas Cardinal, an Edmonton-based architect not yet of national stature; his works and his reputation up to that time had been built mainly in his native Alberta. Yet he had already carved a niche for himself with his distinctive and individualistic architectural style, and his Albertan works have been discussed in many books on modern architectural milestones.

Le choix de l'architecte Douglas Cardinal fut accueilli avec un certain étonnement dans le monde de l'architecture. Installé à Edmonton et encore peu réputé à l'échelle nationale, Douglas Cardinal s'était fait connaître auparavant surtout dans sa province natale de l'Alberta. Dès cette époque pourtant, il s'était démarqué par son style très personnel, et de nombreux ouvrages sur l'architecture moderne avaient reconnu l'importance de ses œuvres albertaines.
