Located 1.8 km North of Hwy 11A on C & E Trail, Klassic Kennels offers Animal Training, Grooming, and Boarding services, as well as Animal Control services to the area, Rescues, and Pet Adoption Services.

Their Animal Control services handle approximately 400 animals per year in the area, and carry a 95% return-to-owner rate for dogs in municipal settings, which is considered the best in Canada (and a 80% return-to-owner rate in rural areas).

  • International Powerhouses Team Garmin- Sharp and Belkin Pro Cycling to Race
    International Powerhouses Team Garmin- Sharp and Belkin Pro Cycling to Race EDMONTON, Alberta Team Garmin-Sharp, the American-based team of 2013 Tour of Alberta champion Rohan Dennis and top Canadian Ryder Hesjedal, and The Netherland’s top team, Belkin Pro Cycling, today were announced as the first two teams to commit to participate in this year’s race, scheduled for September 2 to 7, 2014. Both teams have been consistently ranked in the world’s top 10 the past five years. Team Garmin-Sharp’s Ryder Hesjedal of Victoria, British Columbia won the 2012 Giro d’Italia. Like Belkin Pro Cycling, Team Garmin-Sharp is loaded with international talent, including Tyler Farrar, an American who was won a stage in all three Grand Tours: France, Italy and Spain. The talented 22-year- old, Dennis Rohan, was a surprise winner of last year’s race. Belkin is the team of Robert Gesink, one of the world’s top stage racers. He raced and finished 5th overall in last year’s Tour of Alberta. The team also features Lauren Ten Dam, a top 10 Tour de France finisher. “I loved the Tour of Alberta last year. It had plenty of challenges throughout the whole race and I think the fact it was the inaugural Tour of Alberta made it all the more special to me,” said Dennis. “The race itself was organized perfectly. I am looking forward to being around the people of Alberta. I honestly could not believe how friendly everyone was. It's an important race for me and the team this year.” 120 of the world’s best cyclists will compete in the Tour of Alberta.

  • Host Communities Announced for 2014 Race
    Host Communities Announced for 2014 Race EDMONTON, Alberta The host communities for the 2014 Tour of Alberta, scheduled for September 2-7, were announced by Executive Director, Duane Vienneau; Calgary, Lethbridge, Innisfail, Red Deer, Wetaskiwin, Strathcona County, and Edmonton will participate as either a host start or finish community for this year’s Tour of Alberta. “The commitment by our host communities is fundamental,” said Duane Vienneau, the Tour of Alberta’s Executive Director. “They are true partners in every sense of the word. Through their commitment, we will be able to stage a second and successful race across the Province of Alberta.” The opening weekend will be hosted by the city of Calgary, the host of the 1988 Winter Olympics. The opening ceremonies and other special events will kick off this year’s race with the first race day commencing on Tuesday, September 2. The opening stage will be a short time trial called a prologue, an individual race against the clock. The top finisher and rider with the lowest time will be the race’s leader. Lethbridge will play host to Stage 1 of the race on Wednesday, September 3. The world-class field will start and finish in Lethbridge, a first-time host city for the event, and compete on a circuit with both hills and flat plains along the route. Stage 2 on Thursday, September 4, will start in Innisfail and finish in Red Deer. Red Deer played host to a stage finish in 2013. This year will mark Innisfail’s first host community experience as a part of the Tour.

  • Worldteam Profiles and Key Rider Bios Worldteams
    WORLDTEAM PROFILES AND KEY RIDER BIOS WORLDTEAMS AG2R LA MONDIALE (FRA) The French squad, which has now been in the top flight for a quarter‐century, shone once more at this year’s Tour de France, with Romain Bardet taking third place in the G.C.; it was also his second straight podium finish. He’s a true source of inspiration for the team managed by Vincent Lavenu, which has been a real talent nursery, shepherding more than thirty veteran riders into the pro ranks. For those wondering, rising Québec star Hugo Houle won’t be competing in front of the home crowd this year, as he’s currently busy riding the Vuelta a España. Founded in: 1992. Wins in 2017 (as of Aug. 20): 13 RIDERS TO WATCH Oliver Naesen (BEL): Age 26, turned pro in 2014. Palmarès: 5 wins including Bretagne Classic 2016, 2017 Belgian National Championships. This season: 1 win; 3rd in the GP E3, 3rd in the Four Days of Dunkirk, 5th in the BinckBank Tour. Recruited over the winter after the IAM team folded, Naesen has been one of AG2R’s most successful riders this year. His national title win in June capped off an excellent spring run for the Flemish cyclist, who with a bit more luck could have finished on the podium in several of the Cobbled Classics. He’s excellent in single‐day races, but showed that he can also shine as a team rider, supporting Romain Bardet at this year’s Tour de France. Alexis Vuillermoz (FRA): Age 29, turned pro in 2013.
