Ardrossan
Ardrossan is a growing community of over 514 people. In 2008,
Ardrossan celebrated its 100th Anniversary. Located about 4
kms south of the Yellowhead Highway (16) along the Pointe Aux
Pins Creek, Ardrossan can be accessed on Secondary Highway
824 south of Highway 16 or north from Baseline or Wye Road.
The facilities in the hamlet include a public school complex
for students from kindergarten to senior high, a separate
school for students from kindergarten to junior high, and New
Horizons School, a charter school for gifted students from
kindergarten to junior high. The junior/senior high school also
houses the Ardrossan Community Theatre and the sports fields
surrounding the schools were recently redeveloped with new baseball diamonds, soccer
fields, football fields and a tennis court.
The hamlet is also home to the newly revitalized, state-of-the-art Ardrossan Recreation
Complex. This complex includes a twin arena, a multi-purpose hall, curling rink, an indoor
fitness track, wellness centre and a children’s playground. The new spaces have created
many new exciting drop-in fun and fitness opportunities to meet the needs of this
growing community. The Ardrossan Recreation Complex is a welcome neighbourhood
