Celebrations

In FACTSnet, we have been focussing on two major celebrations for St Albert: its Jubilees (50-year anniversaries) and Christmas.

St Albert Jubilee This blog has information on St Albert in 1861, its founding year, and 1911, 1961, and 2011, its 50th, 100th, and 150th anniversaries. There is also information on St Albert history-related Social Studies questions in regards to the Alberta Education curriculum.

St Albert Christmas This blog has information on Christmas in St Albert in the past, based on references made in the history book for St Albert, the Black Robe's Vision.

*Please note that both blogs are under development.
