Mundare: Hwy 16 (EB, South side of HWY)
Central Alberta’s aspen parkland defines the setting of Mundare — a mosaic of cultivated land and tree stands gives this small community an open, rural character. The town lies beside Highway 16, the Yellowhead Highway, an interprovincial route connecting Edmonton with eastern Alberta and Saskatchewan. Mundare is part of a long-established Ukrainian Canadian belt east of Edmonton, and its Ukrainian sausage monument is a conspicuous tribute to food traditions that shape its local identity. Roadside services and the broad highway corridor sit within a working agricultural district, while groves and parkland break up the surrounding fields. Mundare makes a useful pause for travellers crossing Alberta’s central plains and for anyone interested in the province’s Ukrainian heritage.

Among Canada’s provinces, Alberta stands out for its transition from the Canadian Rockies through prairie to the boreal forest of the north. The province’s western edge is defined by the Rocky Mountains, while the Athabasca and Peace river systems drain vast northern areas. This location lies in northwestern Alberta, where forests, wetlands and communities linked to the energy sector shape the interior. Banff and Jasper national parks protect renowned mountain country, including the Columbia Icefield. Cree, Blackfoot, Dene and Métis communities are integral to Alberta’s cultural fabric. Calgary’s Stampede, first held in 1912, remains the province’s best-known celebration of western heritage. Discover other points of interest through webcams located across Alberta.

First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples are central to Canada’s identity, while Ottawa’s Parliament Hill represents its federal political life.
