Drayton Valley

Drayton Valley sits near the North Saskatchewan River in central Alberta, where forested river country and farmland meet an energy-producing landscape. The town grew rapidly after the 1953 discovery of the Pembina oil field, widely regarded as Canada’s largest conventional oil field; petroleum remains central to local life and employment. Beyond town, the river valley and surrounding mixed-wood forests place Drayton Valley between Edmonton’s urban corridor and the eastern approaches to the Rocky Mountain foothills.
