fourth and fifth generations epitomize and
represent who we are, where we started and
are a key part of our identity. We are proud to
honour these families every year at the Stur-
geon Proud award ceremony.
BEC: This is a broad question, but what has
remained the same in Sturgeon in the past
100 years, and what has most changed?
AH:
What has remained the same is that Stur-
geon County has a robust agricultural commu-
nity with a strong sense of pride, our people
are our strength.
What has most changed? The addition of in-
dustry and the benefits and impacts of it;
Transforming from primarily farmland to a re-
gion including industry, multi-lot subdivisions
and many small businesses.
The first
school in the province
was established in Sturgeon
Country, as was the first wheat
grown for re-sale, the two
future bedrocks of
the province.
