Title
Strathcona County, Alberta, Canada | Home
Description
Strathcona is called a "county," yet its status is actually something that many people may not have heard of--it is classified by the Province of Alberta as a specialized municipality.
Strathcona County's status reverted to that of a municipal district when the County Act was repealed in January of 1995. On January 1, 1996, Strathcona County's status legally changed from that of a municipal district to that of a specialized municipality - only the second in Alberta.
This classification provides for the unique needs of a municipality that includes both a large urban centre and a significant rural territory and population.
