Rundle's Mission was established in 1847 on the shores of Pigeon Lake near Thorsby, Alberta, Canada, by a Methodist missionary named Robert Rundle. From the mission Rundle taught Cree people about Christianity and agriculture, refusing to acquiesce to pressures from the Hudson's Bay Company or the government to further influence local First Peoples. Rundle’s Mission is situated 4½ km west of Itaska Beach.
