Welcome to our community!  Leduc prides itself as having big city amenities with small town charm.  Enjoy your virtual tour of our great city and we hope you come for a visit soon!!

Area Overview

Located 15 minutes south of Edmonton, the City of Leduc is a gateway to both the Edmonton region and to the southern Alberta corridor. When it was incorporated in 1906, Leduc was a railroad town. Ten decades later, the railroad is still an important transportation connection in the community.

From its humble beginnings in 1890 with a population of five people, Leduc was officially incorporated as a city on September 1, 1983, and now boasts a population of over 16,000 – and it is still growing! As was the tradition in the time, many towns were named after missionaries to recognize their work and dedication to the region. In 1891, Lieutenant Governor Edgar Dewdney re-named the town to honour Father Hippolyte Leduc (1842-1918), an Oblate missionary who came west in 1865 and made substantial contributions in the settlement of Alberta including Leduc, St. Albert, Lac la Biche, and Calgary.

Community Lifestyle

Recreation

Cultural and recreational programs reflect the upbeat nature of this modern city. Year-round activities geared to all ages and lifestyles range all the way from the popular theatrical and musical productions at the Maclab Centre for the Performing Arts to the different festivals and events taking place throughout the community.

In the heart of the city is the 19-acre Alexandra Park, featuring the award-winning 44,000 square foot Leduc Civic Centre, which houses City Hall and the Leduc Public Library. The park is also the site of the ornamental Centennial Gardens, Alexandra Arena, and other recreational facilities.

The City of Leduc has some great indoor recreational facilities including the Alexandra Arena and the Black Gold Curling Club. The most prominent amenity, however, is the Black Gold Recreation Centre, a multi-purpose facility that plays host to many different water and ice sports and the ever-popular annual Black Gold Rodeo.

The Leduc Curling Club has one of the finest facilities in western Canada. Eight sheets of ice permit a full range of league competitions and the facility has attracted national championships.

In 2005, work began on a number of renovations and improvements to the Black Gold Centre, including new rink boards, new arena seating, bigger and better change rooms in both the arena and the pool, a new zero-depth leisure pool with spray toys, a new waterslide, a new 50-person hot pool, an indoor playground, and much, much more. These improvements will go a long way to ensuring that this 25-year-old facility can continue to support the recreational needs of Leduc and the surrounding communities.

In addition, Leduc has several other recreational facilities available, including several arenas, swimming pools, a variety of ball diamonds and other sports fields, and tennis courts. Fishing is also enjoyed year-round on the reservoir at Fred Johns Park, and campground facilities are available east of Leduc at the Lion's Club campground.

For cycling, walking and jogging enthusiasts, the new Multiway features paved trails throughout the city. A stroll on the boardwalk at Telford Lake Park provides great bird-watching opportunities

Theatrical and musical events take place at the 250-seat Performing Arts Centre.

The Outdoor Experience

On July 1, 2004, the City of Leduc launched the new branding of the community, “The Outdoor Experience.” This concept showcases the multitude of outdoor recreational and sporting amenities available to residents and visitors alike. From the soccer pitches, rugby fields, and ball diamonds in William F. Lede Park, canoeing and kayaking on Telford Lake, to swimming in the Kinsmen Alexandra Park Outdoor Pool, Leduc has many opportunities for everyone to enjoy the outdoors.

One of the most popular features of Leduc is the multi-way, over 35 km of paved trail that connects neighbourhoods and parks throughout the city. But the Outdoor Experience isn’t just for the summer; the City of Leduc embraces the winter as well and clears off over half of the multi-way for winter enjoyment, many natural and man-made lakes and ponds are cleared for skating and hockey, and Telford Lake is a popular site for cross-country skiers. Completing the package is the vast number of outdoor markets, festivals, and other events held throughout the year. The City of Leduc is not just selling the Outdoor Experience – it is living it!

2005 World Masters Games

Sharing the Outdoor Experience with the World From July 22 – 31, 2005, The City of Edmonton hosted the World Masters Games with the City of Leduc as the venue for the Canoe/Kayak, Rowing, and Fast Pitch events. The city welcomed to the community the nearly 3000 athletes, their coaches and companions, and countless spectators. Not only did many Leduc residents volunteer for the games, but some even participated in this great event.

The scenic Telford Lake was transformed from a sleepy park into a multi-cultural village bustling with activity. Of the 1100 rowing participants, 75 were from Alberta, 300 – 350 from other parts of Canada, and approximately 700 from the world: USA, Russia, Switzerland, Australia, Spain, Argentina, New Zealand, Ireland, Czech Republic, Italy, Lithuania, Hungary, Peru, Germany, Chile, Poland, Brazil, Denmark, and Norway.

Leduc residents helped the city live up to its reputation of being a warm and welcoming community. Many participants found themselves “adopted” by the residents living along Telford Lake, who provided meals, water, and warm Leduc hospitality to the athletes.

Leduc’s William F. Lede Park played host to the 1300 participants from Canada, the U.S. and Australia registered for the Fast Pitch Tournaments. The weather ranged from blistering hot to torrential rains, but everyone persevered. The Lede Park Ball Diamonds rose above the weather and were the only ball diamonds that were operational even after the worst rainstorms.

World Masters Games Play Day

 Having so many visitors to our city was cause for celebration and the City of Leduc, along with community partners, invited everyone to come out and have some fun at the World Masters Games Play Day and Barbeque held at Alexandra Park. Over 2000 people attended the event.

One special guest was Bailey D. Buffalo, who was recently introduced to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on her recent Royal Visit for Alberta’s Centennial.

Sixteen different play zones were set up to entertain kids and grown-ups alike. Cultural dancing, live music, and other activities took place on the main stage, making for a great place to sit back and enjoy the free BBQ sponsored by Leduc Sobey’s.

The success of the World Masters Games could not have been achieved without the hard work and dedication of the Games Committee, volunteers, partner organizations, and the City of Leduc Staff. 

2008 Alberta Winter Games

At a reception held at City Hall on October 26, 2005, the Honourable Gary Mar, Q.C., Minister of Community Development, announced that the City of Leduc has been chosen as the host venue for the 2008 Alberta Winter Games.

“This is an exciting opportunity for the City of Leduc and the whole region,” said Mayor Greg Krischke. “After the excitement of the World Masters Games this past summer, to now have the Winter Games in our area truly establishes the City of Leduc as the Outdoor Experience.”

Much time and energy went into the bid for the 2008 Winter Games. The City of Leduc attributes the success to Dale Mudryk and the Bid Committee as well as City staff and all the businesses and residents who showed their support during the Judges’ visit earlier this fall.

Cooperation was the theme for this bid. Neighbouring municipalities lent their support and offered their venues to host various events. User groups who benefit through the Rapid Bingo Hall gave unanimous support for the hall to be used as a concession for the athletes. There is no question that the City of Leduc and the entire region is ready, willing, and able to play host to the 3,000 athletes, the coaches, and the spectators expected to attend the Winter Games.

Although the City of Leduc is the host venue, different events will be held in surrounding communities. The City looks forward to welcoming all the athletes, coaches, guests, and spectators for 2008 Alberta Winter Games!

Economic Base

Leduc’s economy originally revolved around agriculture and it is still at the centre of one of Alberta’s richest and most diversified farming areas, dairies, prosperous livestock operations, and grain fields.

Leduc entered a new industrial era when oil was discovered a few kilometers northwest of Leduc. The highlight event which made the town world famous occurred on February 13, 1947, when Imperial Oil Limited, after drilling 137 consecutive dry holes, brought in the gusher it called Imperial Leduc No. 1. Economists called it the most important industrial event in the history of Canada.

Since that time, industrial growth related to oil patch development has made Leduc one of the fastest-growing communities in Alberta. Although the oil and gas industry was an integral component of the city’s economy for many years, the proximity to planes, trains, and automobiles has made Leduc an ideal place to do business. Leduc has since grown into a self-sustaining municipality with a strong business sector.

Economic Facts

The City of Leduc is not a community that feeds the workforce in other cities. According to the 2003 Municipal Census, of the employed residents, 39.5% work in Leduc, with 23.1% working in Edmonton, 15.3% in Nisku, and 5.9% at the Edmonton International Airport.
