Welcome

WELCOME TO THE VILLAGE OF FORESTBURG

Thank you for visiting the Village of Forestburg's website.  If you find any errors or if you would like to see additional information posted on this site, please do not hesitate to contact the  Village Office.

The Village of Forestburg is located approximately 80 km southeast of Camrose, at the junction of Highway 53 and SR 856.  The scenic Battle River Valley is only 20 km south and offers both a unique natural setting and varied recreational opportunities.  Agriculture, coal mining, power generation, and the oil and gas industry are the building blocks of Forestburg’s “Growing Community”.  It’s the great community spirit and the warm friendly people that make Forestburg a very special place to live or visit.

A community planning survey found that area residents liked the fact that the community was filled with “friendly people”.  Small town values of caring and working together abound.  Forestburg has a strong volunteer core that keeps our Village vibrant.  The many recreational and cultural facilities are primarily operated by volunteers.  Forestburg residents have a progressive attitude and abounding pride in their community, as is evident in the many beautiful yards and well-maintained homes and buildings.  An active Communities in Bloom group has been honoured with multiple awards including the 2010 National Winner of Communities in Bloom in the 1-1000 category.

East Central Alberta’s wide open spaces don’t just apply to the countryside.  Forestburg is the perfect place to meet all your family’s needs.  Forestburg has experienced a building boom in 2013 and will be working toward developing new fully-serviced residential lots.  For those looking for building sites now, there are some privately-owned residential lots that are currently available and the Village has lots available within our manufactured home subdivision.

Forestburg is a community oriented, safe and healthy place to raise your family or retire. We are proud of our quality of life and the recreational and cultural facilities we have to offer.             We have the perfect balance of educational opportunities, seniors’ facilities, recreational facilities, cultural amenities and a vibrant business community.
