Hands-on Fun for the Entire Family The City of Fort Saskatchewan proudly presents the 22nd Legacy Park Family Festival. It’s the perfect family outing! The day starts with a 5 km Fun Run/Walk that’s open to all ages, with chances to win fabulous prizes. Next you can choose from a dazzling array of activities, such as decorating cupcakes, building a birdhouse, or bouncing on an inflatable sponsored by ENGIE – you’ll find

all this and more! Legacy Park is packed with activities created by Fort Saskatchewan’s community groups to celebrate fun, family and community! Local performers will entertain you at the Legacy Park Band Shell. Throughout the day, you can restore your energy with tasty items from food trucks and treat booths run by local vendors.

CULTURE AND EVENTS

A highlight at the Legacy Park Family Festival is the spectacular return of Fort Saskatchewan’s beloved SHEEP – celebrating 25 years of grass grazing! It’s an exciting experience for kids of all ages to greet our flock as they parade up from the river valley to their summer home in the Fort Heritage Precinct.

Whether you're coming for the first time, or this has become a yearly tradition, we can’t wait to see you at Fort Saskatchewan’s Legacy Park Family Festival! Come and experience great community fun!

Our major Industry Sponsor, Keyera Energy Ltd., is joined by local merchants, community groups and regional businesses in supporting this event.

Date: Saturday, June 3 10:30 am – 3:00 pm Legacy Park, 100 Avenue and 101 Street Admission is FREE! 780.912.2157 | specialevents@fortsask.ca @auggieFtSk and Facebook.com/CityFortSask FORTSASK.CA

Sheep Grazing Our Famous Flock is Celebrating 25 Years! One of the most unique features in our city is the flock of warm, fuzzy sheep roaming through our downtown core and river valley, keeping the grass trim in our parks. Guided by a shepherd working with Border Collies, the flock of over 50 Finnsheep are an irresistible delight to anyone that comes across their path. The sheep love interaction with people. Finnsheep are known for their extra soft wool and friendly dispositions. If you pamper them with a little care, you might quickly be surrounded by a fun and friendly group of sheep competing for a little more of your attention. The sheep are perfect for children because their gentle nature enables kids to get close enough to pet them. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fantastic learning opportunity for children to see this eco-friendly lawn care approach in action â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the sheep keep park grass tidy and the added benefit is that their manure improves the soil. The inventive idea of using sheep for turf control began in 1992 and has since become a major tourist attraction in Fort Saskatchewan that has garnered regional, national, and international acclaim. The Welcome Back Celebration in June, and Sheep Leaving Parade in September are events that draw in the media and have become treasured annual traditions for many residents and day visitors. 22

CULTURE AND EVENTS

After completing the grueling 1,170 mile march from Fort Dufferin to Fort Edmonton in November of 1874, 20 dedicated men from 'A' Division, North West Mounted Police (NWMP), continued their journey the following spring to build a Fort 30 miles downstream, bringing law and order to the area. Visit the Fort Heritage Precinct to experience their story. As you take a guided tour through the NWMP Fort, you will be whisked back in time to imagine yourself as a Constable climbing the bastion to view the surrounding landscape. Then take a leap forward in time to the historical village. Imagine yourself as a student in the 1902 Castle School, visualize life as a settler in 1905, and see how the town doctor lived in 1930. You can also explore the history of law and order at the 1909 Courthouse. 44

The Fort Heritage Precinct is located on the banks of the North Saskatchewan River. The site features a re-creation of the 1875 NWMP Fort and eight heritage buildings in a historical village which are restored to their original era. Discover the impact the North West Mounted Police had on Canadian identity and western development, and how immigrants and early settlers shaped a new society. In the summer, you’ll be able to see Fort Saskatchewan’s famous sheep. From the first Saturday in June to the September long weekend, the sheep can be found in the Fort Heritage Precinct Thursdays through Sundays from 1:00 pm to 8:00 pm. The area also includes the Peter T. Ream Historic Park, a 3.4 hectare park named after the man who was an essential part of preserving the rich history of Fort Saskatchewan. Plan to spend the entire day exploring the area and bring an old-fashioned picnic lunch to enjoy at one of the site’s picnic tables.

Throughout the year, The Fort Heritage Precinct is accessible through guided tours, which take about 1½ to 2 hours to complete. During our summer season, guided tours are available Monday to Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm.

Tidbits of

Life

The NWMP were more than just policeman. They were lawyers, prison guards, blacksmiths, carpenters, farriers, veterinarians, doctors, post masters, and firefighters. A bugle call was used throughout the day to guide the activities for the NWMP, signaling when to get up in the morning, when to eat, when to change duties, when to go out on patrol, etc. The NWMP were active athletes, competing on both NWMP and civilian teams. Mounties played cricket, tennis, football, hockey, baseball, and rugby. The fiercest competition was between the men at Fort Saskatchewan and the men stationed in Edmonton. NWMP doctors provided medical care to both the NWMP and the local community. Fort Saskatchewan got a brand new hospital in 1894. During one patrol, A.M. Jarvis travelled 3,218 km going from Fort Saskatchewan to Fort Resolution and back. He traveled mostly by dogsled. The Castle School was built in 1902. Grades one through eight were taught at the school, with an average attendance of 15 pupils. 46

Fort Saskatchewan

The Canadian Northern Railway arrived in Fort Saskatchewan in 1905. In the early 1900s, Ludwig Kulak and his wife Elizabeth raised nine children in the three-bedroom Kulak House - six girls shared one room, and three boys shared another. When the NWMP left Fort Saskatchewan, a provincial gaol was constructed to house prisoners in 1914. The prisoners were expected to earn their keep and performed duties such as farm labour, landscaping, construction, road building, land clearing, and more. They also worked in the blacksmith and carpentry shops. Later, the prisoners produced license plates for the province. There were five executions at the NWMP Fort between 1879 and 1914. Between 1914 and 1960, there were 29 hangings at the provincial gaol in Fort Saskatchewan. Dr. Thomas William Everend Henry began his medical practice in Fort Saskatchewan in 1918 and also served as the Gaol physician from 1923 to 1958.

Our Historic River Valley Community During the fur trading days, canoe transportation was a primary form of travel and exploration. The mouth of the Sturgeon River was an ideal location for the raw materials needed to craft canoes, leading to the development of the area’s first industry – canoe building. The Indigenous people named the area "Birch Hills” since birch bark was a primary component of the canoe’s exterior. In the late 1700s, the North West Company and Hudson’s Bay Company arrived in the area that came to be Fort Saskatchewan. They established fur trading posts, but by the early 1800s the fur trade was no longer profitable. The North West Company and Hudson’s Bay Company relocated to Edmonton, eventually merging as one company in 1821. In 1874, the North West Mounted Police (NWMP) arrived here after a grueling march 48

across the prairies. Led by Inspector W.D. Jarvis, 19 men of ‘A’ Division wintered at Fort Edmonton. In the spring of 1875, Jarvis looked for a strategic downstream location to build a NWMP fort. Thinking the railway would cross the river here, he built Sturgeon Creek Post where modern-day Fort Saskatchewan is located. The name of the fort quickly changed to Fort Saskatchewan and although the railway’s plans changed, the fort positioned the community as a key northern police garrison. The Fort Saskatchewan community continued to grow and became an agricultural distribution centre for the region. In 1904, Fort Saskatchewan became a town. Travelers to and from Edmonton had to make their way along a rough dirt trail that snaked around swamps and woods until the much-celebrated 1905 arrival of the Canadian Northern Railway.

CULTURE AND EVENTS

SHERRITT INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION A METALS REFINERY LOCATED IN FORT SASKATCHEWAN, ALBERTA

The CNR train entering Fort Saskatchewan 1906

In 1913, the Alberta government began building a gaol (jail) in Fort Saskatchewan. It was used to hold criminals sentenced to two years less a day, as well as prisoners awaiting trial. Between 1914 and 1960, 29 prisoners were executed here. The prison operated a 324 hectare farm to grow the inmates’ food, a gymnasium to maintain fitness, and carpentry, auto body, and license plate shops. The Provincial Gaol

The railway was an attractive feature when Sherritt Gordon Mines was looking for a place to locate its nickel refinery in the early 1950s. Alberta’s natural gas deposits, needed for the ammonia leaching process, were also a factor in attracting this company to the area. The community grew even more and welcomed additional industries after Sherritt Gordon Mines moved here in 1952.

When Sherritt representatives came to Fort Saskatchewan in 1952 to build a metals refinery, little did they know that this decision would result in more than 60 years of growth for the company and the community. Since production began in the summer of 1954, Sherritt’s worldclass metals refinery in Fort Saskatchewan has shipped almost 3 billion pounds of nickel, and almost 200 million pounds of cobalt and has sold Alberta-developed technologies around the world. Sherritt is proud to be a part of Fort Saskatchewan. This metals refinery has operated for more than 60 years and is an important piece of Sherritt’s history in Canada which started in Manitoba in 1927. The company continues to commit to creating sustainable prosperity for employees, investors and communities like Fort Saskatchewan.

Sheep 25 years ago, the City of Fort Saskatchewan found that lawnmower blades were being ruined by the train tracks and ditches were tricky to mow, so we came up with a practical, environmentally-friendly solution. A flock of 450 Finnsheep was introduced to graze the city’s grass. Even though the need for sheepgrazing has declined, the current flock of 50 sheep are celebrities – people come from all over Canada and as far away as Australia to see our fuzzy friends. They are a civic symbol and a much-loved Fort Saskatchewan tradition that bring joy to residents and visitors.
