News Release from the Red Deer Rebels

Red Deer Rebels Owner/President/General Manager Brent Sutter announced on Tuesday that the club has completed three separate trades.

 Red Deer has acquired 19-year-old defenceman Tayem Gislason and a conditional 5th round selection at the 2024 Western Hockey League Prospects Draft from the Prince Albert Raiders in exchange for 18-year-old forward Carter Anderson. Gislason, a native of Winnipeg, MB, was a 6th round pick by the Raiders at the 2018 WHL Prospects Draft. In 93 career games with Prince Albert, Gislason has three goals and 12 assists for 15 points. He also has 48 penalty minutes and a career plus/minus rating of +8.

The Rebels have also acquired 18-year-old forward Dwayne Jean Jr. from the Tri-City Americans in exchange for a 4th round selection in the 2024 Western Hockey League Bantam Draft. Jean Jr., who hails from Edmonton, was originally listed by the Tri-City in 2020 and played 58 games with the Americans, collecting five goals and nine assists.

With 20-year-old forward Ben King being returned to the Rebels over the weekend by the Anaheim Ducks, the Rebels have traded 20-year-old defenceman Tanner Brown to the Regina Pats in exchange for a 5th round selection at the 2023 WHL Prospects Draft, and a 4th round selection at the 2024 WHL Prospects Draft (originally belonging to Swift Current).

Red Deer Justice Centre Grand Opening: Building access to justice for Albertans

Published on

The new Red Deer Justice Centre will help Albertans resolve their legal matters faster.

Albertans deserve to have access to a fair, accessible and transparent justice system. Modernizing Alberta’s courthouse infrastructure will help make sure Alberta’s justice system runs efficiently and meets the needs of the province’s growing population.

Alberta’s government has invested $191 million to build the new Red Deer Justice Centre, increasing the number of courtrooms from eight to 12, allowing more cases to be heard at one time.

“Modern, accessible courthouses and streamlined services not only strengthen our justice
system – they build safer, stronger communities across the province. Investing in the new Red Deer Justice Centre is vital to helping our justice system operate more efficiently, and will give people in Red Deer and across central Alberta better access to justice.”

Mickey Amery, Minister of Justice and Attorney General

Government of Alberta and Judiciary representatives with special guests at the Red Deer Justice Centre plaque unveiling event April 22, 2025.

On March 3, all court services in Red Deer began operating out of the new justice centre. The new justice centre has 12 courtrooms fully built and equipped with video-conference equipment to allow witnesses to attend remotely if they cannot travel, and vulnerable witnesses to testify from outside the courtroom.

The new justice centre also has spaces for people taking alternative approaches to the traditional courtroom trial process, with the three new suites for judicial dispute resolution services, a specific suite for other dispute resolution services, such as family mediation and civil mediation, and a new Indigenous courtroom with dedicated venting for smudging purposes.

“We are very excited about this new courthouse for central Alberta. Investing in the places where people seek justice shows respect for the rights of all Albertans. The Red Deer Justice Centre fills a significant infrastructure need for this rapidly growing part of the province. It is also an important symbol of the rule of law, meaning that none of us are above the law, and there is an independent judiciary to decide disputes. This is essential for a healthy functioning democracy.”

Ritu Khullar, chief justice of Alberta

“Public safety and access to justice go hand in hand. With this investment in the new Red Deer Justice Centre, Alberta’s government is ensuring that communities are safer, legal matters are resolved more efficiently and all Albertans get the support they need.”

Mike Ellis, Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Services

“This state-of-the-art facility will serve the people of Red Deer and surrounding communities for generations. Our team at Infrastructure is incredibly proud of the work done to plan, design and build this project. I want to thank everyone, at all levels, who helped make this project a reality.”

Martin Long, Minister of Infrastructure

Budget 2025 is meeting the challenge faced by Alberta with continued investments in education and health, lower taxes for families and a focus on the economy.

Quick facts

  • The new Red Deer Justice Centre is 312,000 sq ft (29,000 m2). (The old courthouse is 98,780 sq ft (9,177 m2)).
  • The approved project funding for the Red Deer Justice Centre is about $191 million.
