The following is a listing of Klondike Days Dream Homes, which are 54 showhomes in the Edmonton Metropolitan Region that were awarded annually to lottery contestants at Klondike Days from 1955 until 2010.[a] Since its inception, the Klondike Days dream home lottery has been sponsored by the Edmonton Lions Club. Historically, local Edmonton businesses provided labour and building materials for these dream homes in exchange for advertising that certified their involvement; for example, Rainbow Eavestroughing was advertised in the Edmonton Journal after manufacturing and installing rain gutters on the 1965 Dream Home.[3] In 1961, the Edmonton Journal reported that "some 25 Edmonton businesses contributed to the construction of the home."[4][5]

History

[edit]

The first Klondike Days Dream Home lottery took place in 1955, and was labelled the "Golden Dream Home" in conjunction with Alberta's golden jubilee of that year.[6]

Prior to 1964, Klondike Days was named the Edmonton Exhibition; therefore for the first nine years of the contest, from 1955 until 1963, the lottery was named the Edmonton Exhibition Dream Home Lottery. Similarly, for the final three years of the lottery, the event was named the Capital Ex Dream Home Lottery. Each year, the home was assembled and displayed at the Northlands exhibition grounds for the duration of the Klondike Days exhibition. Once a winner was determined, each home would then be transported to an empty lot in Edmonton or a suburb of Edmonton such as St. Albert or Sherwood Park.
