Erin Ridge Bed & Breakfast

St. Albert is a thriving community, and in recent years, has become a regional centre for communities to the North.  We have three large, enclosed shopping malls and many new retail box stores which contain retail outlets, restaurants, and other personal and business services.

St. Albert proudly claims title to being Alberta's most active city.  Our location, facilities, programs, and events offer people of all ages and skill levels unlimited opportunities for both indoor and outdoor recreation, sporting, and cultural activities. 

The Red Willow Park System, which is comprised of five major parks, offers year-round opportunities to park and glide, as you rollerblade, ski, cycle, jog, or walk along the 34 kilometres of scenic paved trails winding their way along the Sturgeon River and surrounding areas.  Whether you are interested in skating on Lacombe Lake Park, picnicking at the Lion’s Park, splashing in the Outdoor Water Park, or doing some bird-watching at Big Lake, there is always lots to do. 

And for the golfer, St. Albert has many fine golf courses(6) located around the city(within 6 to 10 minutes) all offering lessons and rental equipment. 

At the heart of our strength in recreation are well over 70 clubs and associations that host tournaments for a variety of activities such as hockey, ringette, figure skating, soccer, minor football, minor baseball, etc.  
Each year, our community celebrates the Rainmaker’s Rodeo at the Kinsmen Corral and Rock’n August, the celebration of classic cars and music showcasing more than 400 automobiles. 

For those interested in cultural events, we have regular live theatre performances at the Arden Theatre and host the annual world-class International Children’s Festival.  Our Musee’ Heritage Museum houses a diverse collection of artifacts depicting the historical past of St. Albert.  Art experiences are available at Profile’s Art Gallery and through our summer Art Walks.   We are also home to the largest Outdoor Farmer’s Market in Western Canada with more than 200 vendors.
