I've lived in St. Albert the past 5 years, that letter was a source of embarassment for the city, but unfortunately reflects a lot of the mindset here. Still, St. Albert's a very nice town, it has lots of parks with a great pathway system in the summer, strong sports programs, virtually no crime besides petty teen stuff, and is very clean. Would be a great place to raise a family. My cousin came out to visit from Vancouver a couple years back and said this place reminded him of the town from Edward Scissorhands because its so eerily clean and well-kept here.
My only problem with this place (besides the ridiculously slow speed limits and the bored RCMP with nothing else to do but strictly enforce said limits - theres photo radar everywhere) is the douschey mentality you tend to run into here. Very nice people, but there's a ton of snobs here. Especially once you cross over St. Albert Tr from Boudreau into Giroux.
