When Ross McBain opened shop in 1949, he had a simple vision for a camera store with exceptional service. From that core tenant grew a company that became an iconic fixture in Edmonton’s downtown, a place photographers and creatives could count on to be best in the business. Three-quarters of a century later, McBain has expanded with locations across Alberta and offers its trademark brand of friendly, knowledgeable advice online to Canadians from coast to coast.

To celebrate our momentous 75th Anniversary, McBain invites you to our stores on Saturday, August 10th, for an incredible day of sales, giveaways, and events! Join us in toasting over seven decades of serving with the country’s best, most passionate photographers and creatives.

Be one of the first 20 customers through the door on Saturday, August 10th and you’ll receive a photography-themed swag bag brimming with delightful merch. That’s not all; two bags at each store will contain a $75 McBain Gift Card!

Secret Sale

For one day only, in-store only, we will have sales on camera gear so good we can’t even tell you about them. The sale is available at all six McBain locations.

We are incredibly excited to host presentations from talented local photographers Ashley Nicole and Renée Robyn in the new McBain Creator Classroom at our Mayfield location in Edmonton. Reserve your seat today because space is limited!
