Community Spotlights
Our people and their passions
There are no accidental tourists in Lac Ste. Anne.
People make the journey here for a reason...from families looking to plant roots in a place where community comes first; to businesses seeking the most opportunity for the least red tape. Here are some of their stories.

Featured Profile: George Pegg Botanic Garden
Alberta’s very first declared historic resource, the George Pegg Botanic Garden is both a protected site and a jewel to behold.
Faithfully managed by the George Pegg Botanic Garden Society, the Garden hosts a variety of events for the public including an annual Gardener’s Day, and Art in the Garden. Here you’ll find engaging speakers, talented artists, great food and fresh new ideas.
Fallen Four Memorial
Location: Mayerthorpe
Four bronze mounties stand on guard around a central plinth topped with doves aflight. These solemn statues honour RCMP Constables Schiemann, Johnston, Gordon and Myrol, killed in the line of duty on March 3, 2005.
The park is both a memorial to four brave men, and a tribute to those who sacrifice themselves for the protection and well-being of mankind.
Sundial Elevator
Location: Sangudo
At a height of 21 feet, this unique landmark is one of the biggest sundials in existence.
Massive Precambrian boulders surround a central dial formed in homage to the grain elevators of days gone by.
Stunning to behold, this monolithic masterpiece can tell time, perform calendar functions, and even provide latitude and longitude coordinates.
Onoway Museum
Location: Onoway
The Onoway Museum is located in the Beaupré School, also known as the Old Brick School. Four major exhibit rooms focus on life as it was in the Onoway area: Country home, Main Street, One-Room School and Community & Farm Life.
Other exhibits featured throughout the museum include: Local Indigenous Leather and Bead Work, Canada at War, Entertainment in Onoway, and many more.
