Local News That Matters — When You Need It
The St. Albert Gazette is your trusted source for breaking news, community stories, and events in St. Albert, Alberta’s oldest permanent settlement.
The Gazette has chronicled the lives of residents and area events for more than 60 years. The paper was founded in 1961 in the community’s centennial year.
Locally owned for its entire history and currently in its third generation of family operation by the Jamison family, the Gazette has collected hundreds of industry honours over the decades. The awards include several citations as best newspaper in the country from the Canadian Community Newspapers' Association, and many wins as best newspaper in the province from the Alberta Weekly Newspaper Association.
