Employer Profile

The original inhabitants, the Woodland Cree Nation, call this beautiful area Sagitawah – “the place where the rivers meet.” Located on the eastern border of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, Whitecourt is nestled in a valley at the confluence of four waterways:
• The mighty Athabasca River, winding east through the gap between the Swan Hills and House Mountain from the Columbia Icefield Glacier, a small precious remainder of the ice cover once so significant in sculpting our landscape.
• The beautiful McLeod River, flowing northeast, down from the eastern slopes of the Rockies.
• The Sakwatemau (Eagle) River, joining the Athabasca River from the northern glacial basin lakes, Carson and Pegasus.
• Beaver Creek, flowing down from the springs of House Mountain in the south.
Today the Town of Whitecourt provides a wide variety of urban amenities and numerous recreational and leisure opportunities.
