The Town of Gibbons is a friendly, safe town you should be considering as your future home or just for a visit. Our Town offers a variety of amenities for small town living, as well as access to all the facilities of a large city, within an easy, pleasurable commuting distance. The Town of Gibbons is located 10 kilometers northeast of the corporate limits of the City of Edmonton, which in reality places us approximately forty kilometers from downtown Edmonton.
We have two schools in town, each covering kindergarten to grade nine. High school education is provided at Sturgeon Composite High. Advanced education such as University, Technical schools and Colleges are available in Edmonton. Situated along the Sturgeon River, the Town boasts a fully developed River Valley complete with structured pathways, benches, picnic area, viewing points and an adventure playground. We also have seven parks and a new Lions Family Campground. Our museum includes the original McLean Bros. Store and one of the first homes in the area. The Goose Hummock Golf Resort is located a mere 3 kilometers north of Gibbons. Here you can look forward to 18 holes of world class quality golf. Seniors housing in Gibbons is provided by two facilities. Pinecrest Gardens provides self-contained apartment units with all the required amenities. Spruce View Manor provides a limited number of residential units and is the home of the Twilight Club. The Business Park, with easy access to Edmonton and surrounding industrial complexes such as Sheritt Fertilizer Plant and Dupont Hydrogen Plant, has some 20 acres and is located adjacent to the community just off highway 28A. Approximately 10 acres have been serviced including water, sewer and power utilities. We can offer prime properties at very reasonable prices. We invite you to join us for our annual Canada Day celebrations, the Community Wide Garage Sale - Saturday after Labour Day and for Pioneer Days at the Gibbons Museum the last week-end in August. Gibbons is definitely a community you would be proud to call home. Today, Gibbons has a population about 2,500 people and it's land mass covers over 6 square kilometers. |
