The Mohyla, located just north of Lamont, was constructed in 1991 and it marks the centenary of Ukrainian settlement in Canada. This historical site is a must-see while visiting the community.

The exceptional murals on the north wall of Lamont High School, north and east walls of the Arena and in the Lamont Health Care Centre are another must-see.

A day of fishing is always relaxing at the Lamont Fish Pond which is home to a great population of trout, refreshed every year before the May long weekend. Lamont is the gateway to Elk Island National Park where you could be spending an educational, hiking, or relaxing day while watching the large herds of bison.

Take a stroll at Hillside Park, fly a kite on top of the massive hill, have a picnic, enjoy the spray park, playground, exercise equipment or enjoy the view off Mallard’s Landing just off the walking path overlooking the pond.
