Then & Now
A River Runs Through It Winding through the history of the Sturgeon waterway BY MARKWELL LYON
JUST AS IT f lows 26 0 k m from its
headwaters at Hoople Lake south of Entwistle to its confluence with the North Saskatchewan, the Sturgeon River also flows through 150 years of St. Albert history. Much has changed over those years, but in many ways the Sturgeon remains the (slow) beating heart of the city. Now, with growing public interest in its conservation, one can hope the river will experience a renaissance in the decades to come.
