Brookfield Place — Local services in Calgary

Not sure why my friends and I were treated so poorly by the Brookfield Place employees. The Brookfield Place courtyard is beautiful, has a cool auditory water effect and encourages the appreciation and use of patrons passing by. There are tables and chairs as well as benches for people to sit at and enjoy. My friends and I briefly (and respectfully) visited this courtyard to film a few small clips for an Instagram video. The Instagram video was not for any monetary purposes but rather to create art in the beautiful places of Calgary. While there were less ideal visitors at this courtyard (some homeless people), we were approached and told we were not allowed to film there and were told to leave. We asked for a reason, of which they were not able to provide one. I'm disappointed with the way this was handled but also feel strongly that if you have people using your space in productive and positive manner it will help drive away the less ideal visitors.

I worked here for three months on the construction phase for a scabby company.called Parker Johnson, their finished product was litterally falling off the walls and unless they reengineered their entire stainless steel panel system I would feel unsafe walking underneath them because you never know when another 100-200 pound panel will fall off the ceiling and hurt somebody . I felt.like I did not want my name associated with this shifty company was installing and I am pretty sure an actual engineer took one look at it all and had them redo the entire thing and as far as I know they are still working nights to rectify the issue. Parker Johnson in turn lost many huge contracts after this became news to other builders, I guess that is why you should never hire a small kitchen countertop and stainless steel company for a huge commercial job such as this and I can just say I am glad that i got laid off before it all went south and this company was sued by the builders Ellis...

I just want to share my experienced in this place. I bought some drinks in the food court and sat on the table and one of the security ask me if i am waiting for someone and I said yes why is it not allowed to set here? I said..he said its okay! so to cut the stories short my friend didn’t show up on time and I ended setting there maybe 2 hours in the food court waiting for my friend. So the head security approached me and said “ Sir have you noticed you already spent 2 hours here? I said yes why? He said we have rules that only maximum of 20 minutes people can stay. What? Im so sorry Brookfield I don’t know that there is a LAW in Canada that you can only spend 20 min in public places like food court so please put signage stating only 20 minutes maximum stay so that people are aware. Also your security is not well train they should be professional and be careful in every moves and...
