Slave Lake is a young, diverse, and multicultural town, offering a small and integrated feel, but is also close to big city amenities with Edmonton only 256 km away. Beautiful, natural surroundings create a unique quality of life, including a provincial park, Canada’s northernmost bird observatory, Alberta’s easternmost foothills and the Lesser Slave Lake, which boasts seven kilometers of pristine, white sand beaches. There is also an abundance of recreational, cultural, educational and social service facilities for people of all ages. Slave Lake is beautiful, peaceful and provides a great backdrop for a fulfilling career.
