Mayor’s Message
The Town of Bonnyville is a unique and wonderful place to call home; it offers the best of both country and city living. We want you to experience the hospitality, uniqueness and beauty of our area.
We believe that you will see it as an ideal place to raise a family.
The natural beauty of the Town with its wetlands and trail around Jessie Lake, not to mention the many lakes within a short distance of Bonnyville, makes it a gem for nature lovers in all seasons. Its central location in Northeast Alberta makes it the keystone in the heavy oil industry and opens numerous doors for future opportunities.
An excellent variety of stores, specialty shops, restaurants, motels and service businesses provide unique products and personalized service. We are very proud of our vibrant main street and our specialized businesses.
If you are looking for a place to start your own business, talk to us about financing, planning and location. We welcome entrepreneurs interested in developing a business on a local or regional basis.
Bonnyville is proud of its state-of-the-art Health Centre staffed by dedicated physicians and visiting specialists. Public and Separate schools, as well as a Francophone School offer a variety of programs, and our unique Parent Child Centre caters to preschoolers and the needs of young families.
Bonnyville is the only town in the northeast that has a Junior “A” Hockey Team. We enjoy any number of sports and recreational opportunities including hockey, curling, golf, baseball, bowling, hiking, birdwatching, fishing, hunting, cross-country skiing, and snowmobiling.
The Centennial Centre greatly enhances the recreational and educational opportunities available in Bonnyville. The Centre houses a field house for soccer and other sporting events. A second arena in the Centre also provides much needed ice time for hockey teams and figure skaters. Our community is a superb choice as to where to put down roots and raise a family.
Finally, you will find here confident, energetic and community-minded people who welcome newcomers to our growing, dynamic town.
