Please find quick answers to common questions below. As we continue to engage with the community, this page will be updated with additional information. Feel free to contact us anytime with questions or comments at info@activecommunitiesab.ca
Who is Active Communities Alberta?
We are a non-profit organization that is comprised entirely of volunteers. Our focus is on building strong and healthy communities through the provision of recreation and community facilities.
Where will the St. Albert facility be located?
It will be located in the core of the city, along Sir Winston Churchill Avenue and behind the new Paul Kane High School. Active Communities has entered into a 35-year land agreement with St. Albert Public Schools to have the facility built on land they own. In exchange, the school district will have access to the facility during school hours and the public will have access during evenings and weekends.
What about traffic and parking?
The Outdoor Recreation & Community Hub will be accessed from Sir Winston Churchill Avenue, which is a 4-lane arterial road. Usage by the general public will be during evenings and weekends and therefore existing school parking can be utilized. The primary parking will be at a parking lot that is between Outreach High School and St. Albert Public Schools District Office. This parking lot was built in the summer of 2021.
How can I provide feedback?
