Located in the northeastern region of Alberta, our city is located on the largest single known oil deposit in the world, the Athabasca Oil Sands. An estimated 1.7 to 2.5 trillion barrels of heavy oil called bitumen lie under a thin blanket of muskeg. Building on more than a century of research and experience separating the oil from the sand and clay, advancements in technology have made the Athabasca Oil Sands one of Canada’s most powerful economic engines. This is a place immersed in natural beauty where land, sky and water meet to provide unparalleled vacation possibilities. Canoe the historic travel and trade routes followed by early trappers and explorers, explore the sand dunes, hike the trails, fish the pristine clear waters of Northern Alberta, gaze in awe at the Aurora Borealis or join a learning tour of the Athabasca Oil Sands – a natural resource that has been spoken of as the “eighth wonder of the world”.
