Fort Saskatchewan at a Glance
Situated on the shores of the mighty North Saskatchewan River, only 17km (11mi)
northeast of the Edmonton
city limits, Fort Saskatchewan has an idyllic country-style setting with a convenient
location, plus all the amenities of the big city. Several large industries operate
plants here, including Dow Chemical, which has given back to the community by
establishing the Dow
Centennial Centre, a popular venue for concerts and performances. Having been
established by the North West Mounted Police in 1875, the community of Fort Saskatchewan
is steeped in rich history. To experience this history first hand, visitors can
head to one of the city's historic sites, including the Old
Courthouse at the Fort
Saskatchewan Museum and the original
fort. On a warm summer's day, be sure to head down to the river valley, where
parks and pathways round off any getaway to this tranquil location. Also be sure
to check out Legacy
Park, where 50 sheep graze from June to September.
