Mundare: Hwy 16 (South side of HWY)
Built around a railway stop, Mundare grew into a small agricultural service town in east-central Alberta. The town lies beside Highway 16, the Yellowhead Highway, amid the grain fields, shelterbelts and aspen stands of the Canadian Prairies. Its character reflects the Ukrainian settlement that shaped much of this part of Alberta. Mundare’s best-known civic landmark is its giant Ukrainian garlic sausage monument, unveiled in 2001 to celebrate a local food tradition. Road traffic, farming and businesses serving the surrounding rural area remain central to everyday life, while Edmonton is the region’s major urban centre to the west.
