There’s something for everyone in the City’s core! Looking for a walkable shopping and dining experience? St Albert’s downtown core is made up of a convenient network of streets lined with everything from a variety of retail shops, hair salons & beauty spas, pharmacies, restaurants & cafés, service providers, and even great stuff for kids to enjoy!
The Perron District is the hub of Arts & Culture for St Albert. In St Albert Place one can find the Arden Theatre, Musée Heritage Museum, St Albert Public Library, and Visual Arts Studio.
One of the key components in stimulating economic growth for St Albert rests in spending money at locally-owned independent businesses. Why is that? Recent research indicates that roughly 70 cents of every dollar spent at such businesses stays in the local economy and is reinvested. This allows for compounding value to be realized as the Multiplier Effect (known in the world of Economic studies) takes root!
Several local entities have a vested interest in the Perron District including the City of St Albert and its Economic Development department, St Albert & District Chamber of Commerce, and ShopStAlbert.com.
We encourage both residents and visitors to St Albert to ‘Re-Discover’ downtown as an experience rather than a physical location. Downtown business owners continue to brainstorm fresh ideas about how to make our downtown ‘great again’! As these ideas are discussed and become a reality, we will post updates here on this site and hope that your love of St Albert and eagerness to support local economic growth will be the catalyst for making The Perron District a regular destination as you live, work, and play here in St Albert!
We’d love to hear from you! What is it about Downtown St Albert that you love and would recommend?
