HISTORY OF ST ISIDORE, ALBERTA

St. Isidore was founded as a co-operative by the "Companion's Society" in 1953. A group of ten farmers from Quebec set up an agricultural co-op to buy land, share equipment and settle land in the area. They also established a co-op for services and products and eventually evolved into what is now St. Isidore Co-op (Grocery and agro services) The Companion's Society still exists with a mandate to further develop and support economic and cultural ventures in the community. The community was named after St. Isidore, who was a patron saint of farm workers who was a hard worker.

There are a variety of homes in St. Isidore. The community is mostly agriculture and residents work either in St. Isidore or outlying areas such as Peace River at Daishowa or Shell. In St. Isidore the main employment opportunities are with the St. Isidore Co-op, a timothy processing plant, two beekeeping operations, a dairy farm and other farms and businesses.

The community organizes one of the biggest winter carnivals in the north, the St. Isidore Carnaval. Held every year during the long weekend of February, it attracts over 1500 visitors. Activities include live entertainment, sleigh rides, snow sculpturing, log sawing, and other competitions. The first Carnaval was held in 1983.
