At a glance
Beaumont in numbers
Statistics Canada population estimates by census subdivision (table 17-10-0155-01), July 1 of each year. Sherwood Park and Ardrossan are hamlets, so their figures come from Strathcona County’s municipal censuses. Growth compares the latest figure with the earlier one named. Drive times are typical times to downtown Edmonton outside rush hour.
Living in Beaumont
What it’s like
Beaumont was founded in 1895 by French-speaking farm families, and its name means “beautiful hill”, for the rise where St. Vital Church has stood since 1919. It became a city in 2019 and is still one of Alberta’s officially bilingual municipalities.
It has grown by about 40% since 2017, to around 26,000 people, with newer family neighbourhoods around a small, walkable downtown. The Beaumont Sports and Recreation Centre, Four Seasons Park and the Coloniale Golf Club are close to home. My wife and I also run Soluna Wellness and Massage here.
