The Quick Answer
Three of St. Albert's best-known service clubs are the Rotary Club of St. Albert, the St. Albert Host Lions Club and the Kinsmen family of clubs. The Kinsmen run the Rainmaker Rodeo and Exhibition, the Lions take part in the Rodeo Parade and support local causes, and Rotary runs community projects through its committees and partners.
I'm John Carle, a REALTOR with Homes & Gardens Real Estate Limited, and I've been selling homes in St. Albert since 1999. I'm a member of the Rotary Club of St. Albert, so I'll admit I'm a bit biased about service clubs.
