Meet Auggie!

Its hard to resist a character as warm, wonderful, and woolly as Auggie – the Fort Saskatchewan charming mascot. Auggie’s job is to make sure everyone who crosses his path feels that they are part of Fort Saskatchewan’s flock. No matter how big or small you are, feel free to give this cuddly sheep a friendly hug or five. His full name is Augustus, after Fort Augustus, the North West Company fur trading post built in Fort Saskatchewan in 1795.

If you would like to request this cuddly mascot for your event, please contact specialevents@fortsask.ca.
