One of Alberta’s oldest communities, Lac La Biche is situated within the pristine geography of Alberta’s northeast.
The region is flush with lakes, forests, white sand beaches and back-country getaways that make for some of the best recreational opportunities the province has to offer.
The fast-paced growth of the province’s oil and gas industry, the continuing prosperity of the forestry industry and a strong base of local retail and service sectors continues to make the Lac La Biche community one of the province’s busiest regions.
Combined with a multi-cultural potpourri and a thriving economic base, the Lac La Biche region is a destination for all aspects of work and play.
Modern settlement of the region first began in 1798, but for generations prior, the area was a gathering place for many Aboriginal groups. The region now houses one of the largest Muslim populations per capita in Canada, along with a strong Ukrainian, Francophone, Italian and Cree mosaic.
Located just 235 kilometres northeast of Edmonton, the town and surrounding county offer a wide range of amenities and services for all demographics.
For those calling to book hotel rooms, talk to our realtors or reserve space in our paper, here’s a helpful hint … Lac La Biche is pronounced: "Lak La Bish."
And in case you’re wondering, Lac La Biche is a French version of a Cree name meaning "Lake of the Red Deer" or "Lake of the Elk."
