Fort Saskatchewan is a city in Alberta, Canada, 25 kilometres (16 mi) northeast of Edmonton, Alberta's capital city, along the North Saskatchewan River. Fort Saskatchewan is part of the Edmonton census metropolitan area and is one of 24 municipalities that constitute the Edmonton Metropolitan Region Board (EMRB). Fort Saskatchewan's population in the 2016 federal census was 24,149. Its population has since increased to 26,942 according to the city's 2019 municipal census.

The city is most well known for its proximity to petrochemical facilities, including Dow Chemical, Sherritt International, Agrium and Shell Canada. It is also known for its flock of 50 sheep that roam its downtown park throughout the summer months eating the grass. The city mascot is a sheep named Auggie.[6]
History
This section needs additional citations for verification. (January 2018) |
In 1875, under the command of Inspector W.D. Jarvis, the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) established Fort Saskatchewan as a fort on the North Saskatchewan River. The community was incorporated as a village in 1899, a town in 1904, and a city in 1985.[1]
The Canadian Northern Railway reached Fort Saskatchewan in 1905, placing the town on a transcontinental rail line.[7] The first bridge across the river was also built at this time. The rail company paying for it in exchange for free land for its station in Fort Saskatchewan.[8] Prior to the bridge, the only method to cross the river at Fort Saskatchewan was via ferry.[8] In the decade after the railway arrived, the town's population nearly doubled to 993.[9]
A new $200,000 provincial jail opened in 1915 at the end of what is now 100th Avenue to replace the 34-cell guard house that had been used to hold prisoners since the NWMP fort was constructed in 1875.[10] There were various additions to the jail throughout the next 70 years, including the construction of more cell blocks and a stand-alone power plant.[10] By 1973, the jail employed 220 residents[10] and housed both male and female offenders. The jail was replaced in 1988 when a new provincial correctional centre was built south of Highway 15 on 101st Street. The jail cell blocks were demolished in 1994. Only one building from the complex, as well as the Warden's House, still stands. Using various historical and archaeological techniques, some of these structural artifacts can be dated as existing more than 100 years.
In 1952, Sherritt Gordon Mines started construction on a $25-million nickel refinery in Fort Saskatchewan, which started production in 1954.[11] Following Sherritt Gordon's locating in Fort Saskatchewan, more industries constructed plants in the town. Between 1951 and 1956, the town's population doubled from 1,076 to 2,582.[12]
Dow Chemical acquired 700 acres in Fort Saskatchewan in 1959, opening its plant in 1961 and further expanding it in 1967.[13] Within five years of beginning operation at Dow, the population increased to 4,152 in 1966, from 2,972 in 1961.[13]
Since Fort Saskatchewan was incorporated as a town in 1904, it has had 29 residents serve as its mayor.

Economy
Fort Saskatchewan's main industries are commercial and heavy industry. Fort Saskatchewan is part of Alberta's Industrial Heartland, the largest Canadian industrial area west of Toronto. Companies with operations in the area include Dow Chemical, Sherritt International, Agrium and Shell Canada. These plants are major employers for residents of Fort Saskatchewan and the surrounding area.
With the city's growth in recent years, the commercial service sector has also grown. Multi-national corporations with stores in Fort Saskatchewan include Wal-Mart and The Home Depot, with Canadian Tire, Safeway and Sobeys acting as some of the other major employers.
Fort Mall
The Fort Mall is located on a 12-acre parcel on the east side of downtown, containing 170,000 square feet (16,000 m2) of retail space.[41][42] In February 2003, a new purchaser promised renovations,[43] but the opening of nearby larger Cornerstone Mall that year only worsened the mall's situation.[44][45] The planned renovations were never completed, and a new owner came in[46][47] and in 2007 proposed to demolish part of the mall to construct apartments or condominiums.[46] Foreclosure proceedings began in 2008, and the mall was listed for judicial sale.[42][48] The initial asking price was $8 million,[49] and a $4 million bid from the city in the fall of 2009 was rejected.[50] In February 2010, the mall was relisted for sale at $5 million,[41][51] and a $4.35 million offer accepted by the court in April.[41][52][53]
Attractions
The centrepiece of Fort Saskatchewan's recreation and culture is the Dow Centennial Centre (DCC), a multi-use facility that includes an ice arena, gymnasium, fieldhouse, indoor track and fitness centre. The facility, which opened in September 2004, also features a 550-seat performing arts theatre, a permanent art gallery with monthly shows, a banquet hall and the local Pottery Guild.

In the summer months, the lacrosse association uses them. Fort Saskatchewan also has the Harbour Pool, which is an indoor swimming pool that includes a hot tub, sauna and slide.
Over 30 km (19 mi) of paved trails meander through the city's dozen parks, including Legacy Park, which is the city's main gathering place and hosts festivals in the summer.
There is one nine-hole golf course located within the city's boundaries with three others nearby.
The Fort Saskatchewan Museum (c. 1909) is on the Canadian Register of Historic Places.[54] The museum, which sits adjacent to Legacy Park along 101 Street, features a red brick courthouse, a historic school, church and house that were relocated to the site from their respective locations around the region.
Fort Saskatchewan is served by the Fort Saskatchewan Public Library located on 102 Street next to City Hall.
