Message from the Mayor
Welcome to Edson! On behalf of the Town of Edson I want to welcome you to our community. I hope you have a chance to experience some of the fantastic cultural and recreational opportunities we have to offer. Experience history with a visit to the Galloway Station Museum and Travel Centre located in the beautiful Centennial Park. It’s the perfect place to learn more about Edson’s origin and to gather information about everything this region has to offer. There are some great adventures to be had for the outdoor enthusiast. Check out our great ski trail system, head out snowmobiling, play a round of golf on our beautiful 18 hole course, or explore our local hiking/walking trails. Sports fans can also check out why Edson is world famous for our Slo-Pitch. Vision Park has 24 regulation ball diamonds and is host to the Edson Kinsmen Slo-Pitch Tournament with around 272 teams participating on August long weekend each year! If you enjoy music, you must take in the Rotary Sundays in the Park performances. On select Sundays throughout the summer there will be local musicians, family games, and great food served up at Centennial Park for our summer concert series. Edson is also a great place to do business. The Town is proud to work with our local Chamber of Commerce and other local business groups to ensure that our business community is provided with the best environment in order to promote growth and success. This is evident by our vibrant and growing local shopping district. So whether you’re looking to relocate to our community, set up a new business, or just visit, Edson is a place you can do it all!

Discover Edson Edson is a thriving community in the heart of Yellowhead County that has much to offer residents and visitors alike. Located almost exactly between the world-class destinations of Jasper National Park and the City of Edmonton, Edson is a natural, and welcome, stopping point for travellers and a retail destination for many surrounding communities. Visitors and residents alike can enjoy Galloway Station Museum & Travel Centre in Centennial Park seven days a week in the summer months. The Galloway, located between the twinned Highway 16, provides free wifi, an information kiosk and a chance to experience the rich western railroad history of Edson. (Page 7) Edson is home to the Kinsmen Spray Park, a whimsical, watery, free adventure for the whole family open from the May long weekend until early September. (Page 22) Edson offers beautiful gravel and paved walking trails, acres of park land, soccer fields and basketball courts. The new Off Leash Dog Park is located south of the railway tracks on the west side of 54th street and is fenced on three sides with a pond on the other side. (Page 26) The Edson & District Recreation Complex boasts an eight sheet curling rink and a very active curling club in the winter months and a beautiful 18 hole golf course in the summer. Page 12 & 48 Edson is a hockey town and both minor hockey and the adult leagues host many tournaments at Talisman Place (leisure centre). Talisman Place is also home to a walk in, saltchlorinated swimming pool, with a water slide, diving boards, sauna and hot tub. (Page 26) For more outdoor fun visit the famous Vision Park, which is home to the largest Slo-Pitch Tournament in Canada. Over the August long weekend, the Kinsmen tournament hosts 272 teams to compete for cash prizes and bragging rights. (Page 23) Head in any direction from Edson and you will find an amazingly rich outdoor wonderland. You can travel to the unique foothills of the Rockies, explore the mighty McLeod River, or take advantage of the many lakes and smaller fishing rivers and campgrounds. (Page 38) The Edson ATV Club has maintained and improved area trails and promotes safe, responsible ATVing. (Page 40) The historic Coal Branch and Robb area are great areas to sled, quad or hike, and are only 45 minutes away. (Page 44) 5

The Early Years Edson was born of the railway, during the height of transcontinental rail construction heading toward BC. Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (GTP) was ferrying hundreds of railway workers west and initially, it looked as if Wolf Creek would be the established divisional point. However, Wolf Creek soon became victim to real estate speculators and the GTP refused to pay the overinflated prices. Instead, they moved the divisional point eight miles west, to the home of modern day Edson. Edson received its first passenger train on August 10,1910 and by 1911, the people of Edson placed a request to the Post Master General to have the post office renamed from Heatherwood — a name it had carried for about a year — to Edson, in honour of Edson J. Chamberlain, the then general manager of the Grand Trunk Pacific Rail. On September 21, 1911, Edson was officially incorporated as a town and by 1912, the population had nearly tripled to a staggering 1,233 people and 32 local businesses. It was this population and business increase that inspired the town to create the Board of Trade. Edson was quickly promoted in every way possible including brochures that read ‘Boosting Edson is like making love to a widow, it can’t be overdone.’ Main Street was directly opposite the railway station on a clean level cut that had been made through the mud and water. Committees began to form and Edson continued to maintain a steady growth right up until the First World War. For all its prosperity, however, Edson also became a hotbed for unlawful activities that followed many frontier towns. In the spring of 1913, a fire claimed the wholesale liquor store building and another fire consumed the Old Edson Hall. It was a night of destruction that demolished much of Edson’s ‘red light’ district. That fire and a later riot would prompt the hiring of the Royal North West Mounted Police to patrol the streets and bring order back to the community. With law and order in place, families came to settle the area, encouraged that they would be safe and protected from the lawlessness following the rail construction. Now the town focused on building solid roads to create greater access to their community. Edson had been established in the heart of muskeg and country pillars of wooden kegs filled with stones were used to create a solid foundation for walkways. By 1920, the town had power, water, sewer systems and a telephone switch board in place. Soon, there was a dentist, long distance service and improvements made to the postal service, along with better roadways in and out of Edson. Born out of the railroad, these economic foundations stayed strong throughout Edson’s history and were augmented by extended forestry industry, trap lines, oil and gas development and the small businesses that continued to flourish in Edson. It was an exciting time in Edson’s history and created the foundation for the vibrant community that exists today. 6

Sidewalk Jamboree Summer Festival The Edson and District Chamber of Commerce hosts the Sidewalk Jamboree beginning August 14th, and lasting all day on Friday, the 15th and Saturday the 16th until 5 pm. Edson’s Main Street transforms into a fair which spans five town blocks and includes carnival games and rides, the always popular mini donuts, cotton candy and more. Local businesses and volunteer organizations also set up food booths which feature elephant ears, burgers, and a host of other tasty treats. With Edson’s Main Street closed to traffic, many local businesses set up outdoor booths that offer fabulous deals just before the start of the school year. Face painting, a Soap Box Derby event and mini draw are more highlights of this year’s Jamboree, as well as a sound stage featuring local musical talent. New events are added yearly to the Jamboree and in the past events like pie eating, watermelon eating and fear factor challenge were popular with the crowds.

Sports Whether you use sports as a form of exercise, for entertainment, to hone skills or to interact with other people, sports are a big part of what makes Edson a great place to live and play! Sports can be a great learning experience. Through them we learn how to be a team player, to accept constructive criticism and to develop discipline. There are many team sports (for the young and young at heart) in the area, including; volleyball, soccer - drop in, ladies indoor and youth, rugby, curling, hockey, bowling, basketball, ultimate frisbee and of course, slo-pitch! For those who enjoy a more solitary experience, there are plenty of individual activities in the area like golf, running, cross country skiing, fencing and figure skating, just to mention a few. Martial arts classes (karate and tae kwon do) are offered in the area as are dance courses and swimming. Motivated to get fit? There are numerous exercise courses from spin classes to zumba, yoga, moveball and more which are held all year round. The Edson area also is home to several fitness centres, indoor and outdoor ice rinks and a great pool and splashpark. Friends of the Fieldhouse is a non-profit organization to raise support and funding to build a multi- purpose recreation facility in Edson.

Slo-Pitch Capital of Canada The population of Edson swells as ball players from all over North America head for the heart of the Yellowhead. Billed as the world’s greatest slo-pitch tournament, Edson Kin Slo-Pitch is celebrating its 35th year this August long weekend. Vision Park boasts 24 regulation-sized diamonds and hosts 272 mixed open division teams during this one-of-a-kind tournament, with cash and prizes totalling more than $60,000. Entertainment is held each night in the on-site beer gardens known as The Hanger. Performances this year include: Rock’n & Rave’n (Friday), BC/DC (Saturday) and Tim Hicks (Sunday). Camping is available inside Vision Park at Kin Kampers Village, at the Rotary Campground and there are several campgrounds and hotels/motels in the area to give you a place to lay your head. Remember, book early as this is a very popular tournament! This great ball weekend includes the always entertaining home run derbies (the ladies competition is held on Saturday and the mens on Sunday), local on-site vendors, bussing to and from Edson and a Masters division for 40+ males and 35+ females with all skill levels represented. Players must be at least 18 years of age to register for the tournament. All proceeds raised through this event are used by the nonprofit organization, Kinsmen Club of Edson, to help support a variety of community programs, events and charities.

The Red Brick Arts Centre Serving Edson and area since 1913 As one of Edson’s oldest buildings, the Red Brick Arts Centre and Museum is a must see! Built in 1913, the Red Brick was originally one of Edson’s first schools and continued to serve the children of Edson up until 1967 when it was closed down. It soon become a maintenance shed and bus barn for the school division but when a new facility was opened in the 80s, the future of the Red Brick was uncertain. A campaign to save the building started in 1985 and succeeded when the building was designated a municipal historical resource in 1987. 101 years after opening its doors, the Red Brick has become the town’s cultural cornerstone, complete with an art gallery, 141 seat theatre, dance studios, permanent art collection and a classroom museum.

It’s founder Rod Hay, who is an eight time Canadian champ and 20 time NFR qualifier has brought together Canadian champions and World champions, from the USA and Australia. As a Canadian Professional Rodeo Association event, all the prize money counts toward the Canadian Finals Rodeo. It’s a saddle bronc event only, with 20 professional cowboys riding for $18,000 and with new bronc horses competing for $5,000 in prize money. Bring your boots, hats and trailers and plan to have a weekend of fun and excitement.

Hillbilly Demolition Derby & Mudbog
Get revved up for the annual Edson Hillbilly Demolition Derby and Mudbog! This yearly, family friendly event features events like the full size car, mini and pick up truck demolitions, tough truck competition and of course the mudbog, which covers three different classes of boggers. The fan favourite demolition derby delivers bone crunching action that our spectators have come to expect. The two day event attracts more than 100 participants each year from across the province (and even outside of Alberta!). The Edson Hillbilly Demolition Derby and Mudbog has become a local institution with about 1,500 fans coming out cheering on their favourite drivers every Labour Day weekend. Concession stands are available to keep everyone fed and happy. The weekend is a place to have fun and spend time playing in the mud and dirt, but safety is always a concern. There are rules that govern both the building of the vehicles and driving aspects of the event. Keep up to date, connect with others, or simply drop us a line at our Facebook page at ‘Edson Hillbilly Demolition Derby’ or call 780.723.5104 for more information.

Parks in the Yellowhead Sundance Provincial Park
Sundance Provincial Park is comprised of three very different and unique features only found within the park’s boundaries. It was declared a park under the Special Places Program. Emerson Lakes is a grouping of 5 beautifully clear lakes nestled in a quiet oasis. Seven km of hiking trails circle three of the lakes and offer amazing scenic views. The lakes provide excellent fishing for brook trout and a range of other fish. Marl Bog is a provincially significant site for flora. Twelve different species of orchids, as well as 5 different species of carnivorous plants can be found here along with a variety of rare aquatic plants, sedges, rushes and ferns. This area has a unique combination of soil and hydrology which provide for such an unusual grouping of plants.
Wild Sculpture Trail
This trail takes a journey through the ever changing hoodoos of Sundance Park. The sandstone cliffs, which were and are carved by rain and wind, hang on the side of steep cliffs overlooking the lakes below. The trail is about 9 km in length one way and provides camping spots for overnight adventures within the park.
Sundance Provincial Park is 49 km Northwest of Edson. It is accessible via Hwy 16 to Swanson Road or via the North Road. Both routes meet up with Emerson Road. 42

Brule Sand Dunes
Unique Sites
These three story sand dunes are fun places to hike, bike or quad. In the 1900s the Grand Trunk Pacific railway ran across the dunes hoping to connect the Rockies to Edmonton. Drifting sand over the tracks caused this section of the railway to be shut down and remains of some of the tracks are still visible today. W of Hinton off Highway 16
Ogre Canyon
The canyon and the sinkholes within it were carved out by streams and underground water. The climb to the top is a difficult one, rising up almost 900 metres along switchbacks. Four wheel drive is recommended on the gravel road to get to the parking lot. NW of Hinton near Brule
Coal Branch Railway
The Coal Branch Railway is now a chain of abandoned mining towns along the eastern slopes of the central Canadian Rocky Mountains and was once an important part of Alberta’s coal industry. Once the Branch was famous for its guarantee of work and overall prosperity, however, technological advancement outdated the collieries and many of the once prosperous towns are now abandoned. The railway was a link from Bickerdike (seven miles west of Edson) to the coal mining towns of the Rockies. S off Highway 16 onto Highway 40

Willmore Park You’ll find a piece of a different world at Willmore Park. As one of Edson’s best kept secrets, Willmore Park will certainly impress. Located right along the McLeod River, the park offers something for everyone. Hiking and biking trails, ranging from 1.5 km to 5 km provide varying degrees of difficulty and are surrounded by the beauty of the wilderness and scenic views of the river valley. It is also a great place for runners of all levels. There is plenty of room to camp in one of the 12 river side sites or 29 forest sites. Group camping and picnicking is also available. The area is also a great fishing destination. The park is used for tobogganing, snow shoeing and cross country skiing in the winter months and in the summer, it is a popular spot for swimming, hiking, running, soaking up the sun or tubing on the river. Willmore Park is a definite must see with its calm, small town charm with grand views and many potential adventures.

Winter Wonderland Winter is an active time in the Edson area! Muskeg Flyers
Offering excellent cross-country skiing through beautiful rolling foothills forest, the Hornbeck Cross Country Skiing Forest Recreation Area is located 15 kilometres Northwest of Edson. Follow highway 16 west from Edson about 4 kilometres, and then turn North on the Schlick Road (Range Road 181A). Follow the Schlick Road 8.5 kilometres to its end at a T-intersection, then turn left and follow the signs to the ski area. The Hornbeck Area is a legally designated Forest Recreation Area reserved for non-motorized recreation under the Alberta Forests Act. Volunteers of the Edson Muskeg Flyers Nordic Ski Club maintain the trails and facilities, with support contributed by industry, municipalities, and individuals in the district. The 30 kilometres of trails in the Hornbeck Area are groomed for both skating and classical skiing. There are trails for both novices and intermediate skiers. The staging area provides a warm-up shelter with a wood stove, picnic tables, pit toilets, and a parking lot.

Winter Wonderland Edson Sno-Seekers
A nonprofit, family oriented club, The Edson Sno-Seekers has existed informally since 1969, and was officially registered in 1986. Sno-Seeker volunteers maintain signed, groomed trails from Edson North to Silver Summit, west to the Little Sundance Staging Area and South to Robb. There is a warm-up shelter between Edson and Silver Summit, and at Tom Hill Tower where the trail connects to the Whitcourt trail system (Golden Triangle). The Fox Creek trail will be completed in 2014. The Edson Sno-Seekers are members of the Alberta Snowmobile Association and promote safe snowmobile riding in Edson and area.

Edson Curling Club
Located at the Edson and District Recreation Complex, the Edson Curling Club has a Men’s, Ladies’, Mixed and Junior league. With eight sheets of ice and an ‘Open’ curling night, the Edson Curling Club is a great place to learn the sport, meet new friends or just watch the action. The Edson Curling Club is a member of the Canadian Curling Association. For more information visit: www.edsonrecreationcomplex.com
Hockey/Skating
Edson has two outdoor arenas. One in Glenwood Park, 463 - 72 Street and one in Griffiths Park (behind the Boys and Girls Club) at 5414 - 6 Avenue. Both arenas have full boards with lights (until 10:30 pm) and are maintained by the Town of Edson. Talisman Place (Leisure Centre)has two indoor arenas for hockey and public skating from September to April. The arenas are home to minor hockey teams, ladies recreational hockey, men’s hockey league and oldtimers hockey. The arenas are also home to an active figure skating club. Public skating and shinny are regularly scheduled.
Industry Coal
Mining has been a key player in the Edson area for many years, but when oil became the fuel of choice, coal mining started to decline. Mines gradually shut down in the 1950s and the industry slowed dramatically until the late 1970s when coal became a viable product again.
Oil & Gas
Since Edson is located on one of the largest gas fields in Alberta, there are always employment opportunities in this field. Exploration, drilling, collection, transportation and servicing of the oil and gas industry continues to be a driving force and major contributor to Edson’s economic prosperity.
Forestry
In 1983, an OSB manufacturing plant opened in the Edson area — Pelican Spruce Mills (now Weyerhaeuser). Weyerhaeuser uses the abundant supply of Aspen and Black Poplar to manufacture structural panels used for flooring and sheltering in residential home construction. In the early 1990’s a second mill, Sundance Forest Industries (formerly Erith Tie Company) built a new state-ofthe-art sawmill which soon expanded. The mill is now known as Edson Forest Products, a division of West Fraser.
