Message from the Mayor Welcome to the Region. I have heard that you may be interested in living in our beautiful community.

Our community is well known for its beautiful lake shore line, and friendly atmosphere. With a population of approximately 7,000 residents we pride ourselves on offering large cities amenities to our community. The entire Slave Lake Region is approximately 25,000 square kms and there are lots of activites and facilities for families old and young.

The swimmer in your family can enjoy the Northern Lights Aquatic Centre, with the swimming pool, children’s pool, waterslide and hot tub. The sport enthusiast in the family can drop in to the Multi-Rec Centre from pick up games of Hockey, Badminton, Volleyball and even indoor Soccer. If you’re a hockey fan, be sure to catch our local Winterhawks in action on one of our two hockey rinks. If you enjoy a nice freshly baked homemade loaf of bread be sure to catch the monthly farmers market taking place at the Multi-Rec Centre.

For the arts enthusiast, or if you're wanting to take in some live concerts be sure to stop in at the Legacy Centre. The $20-million facility is a community hall, and is home to our brand new daycare. The facility hosts a 500 person performing arts theatre, we have hosted great events including live theatre, music concerts, community events, and even ballet.

No community would be complete without a thriving downtown core, lots of great boutiques and shops provide great shopping experiences throughout the year.

But to be honest one of my favorite things about the Slave Lake Region, is the outdoors. Whether your favorite game is basketball, tennis, ball hockey, or skateboarding, our community parks offer a range of activities for you and your family to take in while living in the Town.

With over 20 km of paved walking trails, in and around the region, it's not hard to find a path that will take you from your doorstep to the Provincial Park.

Devonshire Beach. I highly recommend taking in a sunset, or sunrise at the beach as it makes the life here perfect. It’s not just a great beach it’s also a great place to swim, fish, explore on a canoe or kayak, or take in water sports. Our lake is definitely a hidden gem.

Slave Lake isn’t just a summer destination, in the winter you can cross country ski, snowshoe, or use an ATV or skidoo on the hundreds of trails in the area. It will certainly make you realize your backyard is a wilderness full of possibilities.

Slave Lake Region is growing, our industry sector remains strong in the area as we have a lot of gas and oil exploration continually going on. We are fortunate to also have a strong forestry presence with four forest products mills, fifteen minutes of town.

With the Town of Slave Lake being the largest community in the Region, there is a large government presence in the community. The Town Government Centre is home to both Municipal and Provincial Governments. For the Book lover in your family, head over to the Slave Lake Regional Library at the Government Centre. With all these amenities Slave Lake is often described as the ‘hub’ of the Region.

The Slave Lake Region is lucky to have a Northern Lakes College Campus within it’s boundaries. The College provides a broad range of programming. As well the College offers programs in collaboration with two universities. The College also offers a wide range of continuing education programming to meet the ongoing professional development and personal development needs of our community.

It's very easy to see this region has a lot to offer. We are proud to be called the Jewel of the North, and we hope you come discover all that Slave Lake has to offer.
