Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park

Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park is a protected natural area on Big Lake and the lower Sturgeon River just west of Edmonton and St. Albert in Alberta. Part of an Important Bird Area, it was created on April 19, 2005, from land set aside in 1999 as the Big Lake Natural Area under Alberta’s Special Places program. Named for former Alberta Lieutenant Governor Lois Hole, it became the province’s 69th provincial park and its newest at the time. The park is especially known for birdwatching, as its wetlands and lakeshore support exceptionally diverse birdlife, with 223 species recorded in the area.
