About the name - Pointe-aux-Pins Acres
(The Pointe)

• The name Pointe-aux-Pins Acres anchors the new amenity in community heritage. The Pointe is a destination where people from across Strathcona County and the region can enjoy agricultural and community events. 
• The County considers the history of our community and points of interest in the local area or region when considering new facility names.   
• Pointe-aux-Pins Creek is a significant water feature on Strathcona County’s landscape. One of only a few place names in the County known to have a French origin, the name translates literally as “pointed at the pines.” The creek flows into the North Saskatchewan River from the southeast - from the higher elevations in Beaver Hills. In the late 1800s, Pointe-aux-Pins Creek was the last of four creek crossings for travellers making the twenty-one mile journey by land from Strathcona, at the north end of the Canadian and Edmonton railway line known as the “end of steel”, to Fort Saskatchewan.  

A place to show the past, present and future of agriculture

• Pointe-aux-Pins Acres is a community gathering space where agriculture heritage and rural roots are preserved. 
• It complements Bremner Heritage Site, including Bremner House, a 5,400 square-foot home built by Charles Bremner in 1912 or 1913.
  • Strathcona County Council purchased Bremner House in 2004 to preserve a piece of the community's heritage for future generations. 
• Opportunities to see, learn, and get involved include agri-educational opportunities.
