Lamont County

Lamont County is located in east central Alberta, 62km north east of Edmonton. It has a population of 4,212 plus 4,354 in the towns and villages. The County, which is nestled in the Beaver Hills, is part of the Kalyna Country Ecomuseum, a heritage district and is also proud to share a border with Elk Island National Park. Lamont County is proud to boast attractions such as the Ukranian Cultural Heritage Village, the Basilian Fathers Museum in Mundare and many interesting craft shops, churches and beautiful scenery.

In fact, the County has declared itself as the 'Church Capital of North America� as it has 47 churches within its limits, which is more per capita than anywhere else in North America. The County has a 'Doors Open� event every June which gives people a chance to go on a bus tour of the churches. At the Parkland Conservation Farm south of the Town of Mundare on Highway 16 visitors can walk through the natural area or learn about modern agricultural conservation practices.

Recreational facilities and activities include hockey arenas, curling rinks, a 9-hole golf course at Elk Island National Park, an 18-hole Championship golf course called Whitetail Crossing in Mundare, ball diamonds, tennis courts and a trout fishing pond.
