St. Albert is a city of roughly 70,000 residents situated directly northwest of Edmonton, making it one of Alberta's largest cities and a densely populated suburban hub with strong purchasing power. The local economy is driven by healthcare, retail, real estate, and professional services, with many residents commuting into Edmonton while preferring to spend locally.
