FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
July 24, 2025
ST. ALBERT, ALBERTA – Habitat for Humanity Edmonton proudly celebrated the opening of its sixth ReStore location with a ribbon-cutting ceremony in St. Albert on Thursday, July 24. The private event brought together key government officials and community partners, including St. Albert Deputy Mayor Ken MacKay, several City Councillors, Michael Cooper, Member of Parliament for St. Albert—Sturgeon River, and Dale Monaghan, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Alberta. Habitat Edmonton’s President and CEO, Dr. Ann-Marie Reddy, officially welcomed attendees and thanked the community for its support.
Located at 730 St. Albert Trail, this new ReStore is the first in the organization’s history to share a building with Goodwill, with both organizations operating independently within the same location. The partnership highlights a shared commitment to community impact.
To welcome the public, Habitat Edmonton is also hosting a Grand Opening Celebration Sale on Saturday, July 26. All shoppers at the St. Albert ReStore that day will receive 20% off their purchase as a thank-you for celebrating with them and supporting affordable homeownership.
“The opening of our St. Albert ReStore is an important step in advancing our work across northern Alberta,” said Dr. Ann-Marie Reddy, President & CEO of Habitat for Humanity Edmonton. “This location will help fund future builds, grow community involvement, and give people a simple, meaningful way to support affordable homeownership — whether by shopping, donating, or volunteering.”
“Alberta’s government is proud to support Habitat for Humanity Edmonton as they help Alberta families get out of uncertainty and into safe, affordable homes,” said Honourable Jason Nixon, Alberta’s Minister of Assisted Living and Social Services. “Innovative, community-based solutions like this new ReStore in St. Albert deliver real results for Albertans and build stronger communities across the province.”
“Collaborations with other non-profits have tremendous community impact, as we work together to offer a hand-up to those in need,” says Dale Monaghan, President and CEO of Goodwill Industries of Alberta. “Thanks to the generosity of the people of St. Albert, this valued partnership will strengthen our ability to deliver meaningful outcomes and opportunities while staying true to each of our missions.”
“St. Albert City Council wants everyone in our community to have the opportunity to own their own home in St. Albert,” says Cathy Heron, Mayor of St. Albert. “The Habitat for Humanity ReStore will help achieve this outcome by providing residents with an affordable source of building supplies and materials.”
All proceeds from Habitat ReStores support the full scope of Habitat Edmonton’s work — from building homes to delivering services that empower future homeowners.
