St. Albert at a Glance
The City of St. Albert, Alberta
can trace its beginnings back to missionary Father Albert Lacombe, who built a
log chapel in the Sturgeon River Valley in 1861. The Father
Lacombe Chapel, which was used to minister to local Cree and Metis, has been
completely restored to its original state and can be toured from June until September.
After touring the chapel, those interested in learning even more about the city's
past can check out the Musee
Heritage Museum which features exhibits on St. Albert's history and people.
While some may want to learn about its intriguing past, there is also plenty of
excitement to be had in St. Albert. The Kinsmen
Rainmaker Rodeo is a popular summertime event where both visitors and locals
live it up and The International
Children's Festival, which is held each May, is an enjoyable event for the
entire family. Shopping enthusiasts will love the St.
Albert Outdoor Farmer's Market as it is a great spot to head for fresh produce,
homemade treats and local arts and crafts. St. Albert is located slightly northeast
of Edmonton, and is considered part of the greater Edmonton area.
