Commuting Options

Naturally, this community really appeals to those who work for the local school district or for companies like Dow Chemical or Agrium. You’ll enjoy an easy commute if you work in the Fort Saskatchewan area.

This will take you to the Clareview LRT station, where you can easily get to your place of work. It’s a great option for those who prefer to read or do some work while they commute.
