Area Overview
Nestled within the majestic valley of the Peace River, the Town of Peace River enjoys one of the most beautiful physical settings in Alberta. The 6,315 citizens of this community are "Peace River and Proud", boasting a standard of living that is second to none. The Town offers its citizens and visitors a full range of adventure and recreational activities. Along with excellent shopping, hotels, motels and restaurants, there are also recreational fitness centres, indoor pools, an arena, curling rink, ski hill, children's water spray park, theatre, cinema and several kilometres of groomed walking/cross-country ski trails along the river.
The Peace River region is regarded as one of the finest bear, big game and water fowl hunting areas. Hunters and naturalists come from all over the world, and in the capable hands of excellent outfitters, are guided in their quest for an exclusive trophy and exquisite nature adventure.
The economy of the region is based on the "Golden Triangle" of agriculture, oil & gas, and forestry. Industrially, the Peace region is home to both the Shell In-Situ oil refinery, and the Daishowa-Marubeni International Limited, Peace River Pulp Division, pulp and paper mill.
Easy access to major transportation routes has made the Town of Peace River a thriving regional trade and service centre to northwestern Alberta. Indeed, Peace River is the second largest centre in northwestern Alberta [second only to the City of Grande Prairie], providing a wide range of services to the surrounding region. Many of the businesses related to the natural resource sector in northern Alberta centre their operations in Peace River and take advantage of the variety of services available in the community.
