About St. Albert

St. Albert is immediately northwest of Edmonton on the Sturgeon River, a separate city with its own downtown rather than a neighbourhood of the capital. It grew from a 19th-century Catholic mission and Métis settlement into a suburban city of river-valley parks. Red Willow Park follows the Sturgeon through the centre of town. About 68,000 people live in St. Albert.
