St. Albert Gazette

The St. Albert Gazette is a free paper with two editions weekly: Wednesday & Saturday.
The Gazette is where St. Albert residents get all their local news and find out what’s happening in their neighborhoods.
The paper does contests and giveaways available both online and by submissions at their storefront.
I really like the community information sections where they breakdown upcoming events by family, adult, etc.
The Gazette has all your typical stuff from classifieds to add but they really excel on local news with a positive flare! I really like the number of articles they do about community volunteers and school children in the community.
Of all the community newspapers I’ve had the pleasure to read, this one is at the top of my list!

This newspaper has been covering the news in the St. Albert area since 1961. It’s one of two St. Albert newspapers and is delivered to St. Albert residents (either directly or now via newspaper box) biweekly on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
I remember taking the grand tour of the facilities lead by managing editor, Sue Gawluk over a decade ago when I was a journalism student. It looks as though they may be looking to expand since I was surprised to see «for sale» signs all around the property.
I went back there years later for some reason I can’t recall but the front end staff were all out in the parking lot staring at the sky as a storm was approaching. When I walked in the doors they were rude. Maybe it was the weather.
The newspaper is a decent read and constantly improve as years go by. I still flip through it now and then when I spot it.
