Nestled within the majestic valley of the Peace River, the Town of Peace River enjoys one of the most beautiful physical settings in Alberta.

The Peace River region is regarded as one of the finest bear, big game and water fowl hunting areas. Hunters and naturalists come from all over the world, and in the capable hands of excellent outfitters, are guided in their quest for an exclusive trophy and exquisite nature adventure.

The economy of the region is based on the "Golden Triangle" of agriculture, oil & gas, and forestry. Industrially, Peace River is home to both the Shell In-Situ oil refinery, and the Daishowa-Marubeni International Limited, Peace River Pulp Division, pulp and paper mill.

Peace River is the second largest centre in northwestern Alberta [second only to the City of Grande Prairie], providing a wide range of services to the surrounding region.
