"Embracing the vitality of the People in St. Albert through Events and Celebration"
Throughout 2011, the City of St. Albert, Alberta experienced a number of great events focused on its 150th Anniversary. The energy and sense of community that was exhibited throughout the year inspired the creation of SOSA to ensure similar events are continued on an annual basis with that same energy.

In 2012, this new organization is working hard to launch the Society in order to support the long term stability to present these community focused events through community volunteerism. Our foundation and belief is that the residents of St. Albert are great volunteers and take pride in their city.

The Societies long term plan is to build on the current schedule of events with the help of local community, regional and national funding support.
