Lac La Biche County

Lac La Biche County is located in the northwest of the Alberta HUB region approximately 2 1/2 hours northeast of Edmonton. The County is an area blessed with natural beauty in the form of an abundance of lakes, old growth forests, wildlife and excellent outdoor recreational opportunities.

The history of the Lac La Biche region is rooted in its strategic location for the fur trade, however, nothing compares to the importance of its location in the present day. Intersected by three major arterial roads (Highway 36, Highway 55 and Highway 881) and with a rail line routed through the municipality, Lac La Biche County has the potential to become a major distribution hub for companies with operations in Wabasca and Conklin.

Another advantage to locating in the municipality is the availability of affordable land for industrial, commercial and residential development.

The County is a community steeped in cultural diversity and history with European settlement dating back over 200 years to the fur trade. Main industries include oil and gas, forestry, tourism and agriculture. Further, the Hamlet of Lac La Biche serves as a business hub to the area and it is a growing and thriving community. Lac La Biche County has seen an unprecedented period of growth in recent years and this trend is expected to continue well into the foreseeable future.
