Strathcona County - Municipal Website

From June 2 – 8, 2025, Strathcona County celebrates Seniors’ Week and the important work and contributions older adults make in our community.

Strathcona County’s biggest celebration of the year is back! Join us on Tuesday, July 1 for a full day of family fun at this year’s Canada Day Festival at Broadmoor Lake Park (Oak Street, Sherwood Park), featuring a mix of indoor and outdoor activities for all ages, plus live entertainment from morning to night.

June is National Indigenous History Month, and everyone is welcome to celebrate the heritage, culture, history, resilience and achievements of Indigenous Peoples.
