The world's largest mallard duck was erected in Andrew in 1992, and whoever made that decision understood something important about this part of Alberta: the sloughs, potholes, and wetlands of Lamont County have always been genuine duck country. The North Saskatchewan River basin drains through a landscape where open water and parkland mix in a way that produces excellent waterfowl habitat, and Andrew grew up as a community in the middle of it. The mallard sculpture — green-headed, seven metres tall, standing on a fork-mounted pedestal at the village entrance — is at once completely absurd and perfectly apt. It belongs here the way a Ukrainian Orthodox church dome belongs here, or a grain elevator, or a community hall where the spring perogy supper has been running longer than anyone can remember.
Andrew was settled by Ukrainian immigrants in the early twentieth century, mostly from Galicia and Bukovina, and the village has retained its Ukrainian-Canadian identity across generations. The Ukrainian Cultural Heritage Village — one of Alberta's best living-history sites — is about 30 kilometres west near Elk Island National Park. Edmonton buyers who are priced out of the city's suburbs and willing to consider a 100-kilometre commute will find average prices around $165,000 that make the drive feel considerably more reasonable. Lamont County acreages are popular with Edmonton commuters who want space, animals, and something that looks nothing like a subdivision.

A much-photographed landmark on Alberta's roadside attraction circuit.
