About the Red Deer area
The area
This is Statistics Canada's census division No. 8, in central Alberta on the Highway 2 corridor between Calgary and Edmonton. Its rural municipalities are Red Deer County (about 19,900 people in 2021, on about 4,060 km²), Lacombe County (about 10,300) and Ponoka County (about 10,000). The City of Red Deer (about 100,800 in 2021) is the largest centre, followed by the City of Lacombe and towns including Sylvan Lake, Blackfalds, Innisfail, Ponoka and Rimbey, plus villages and lakeside summer villages. The Samson 137, Samson 137A and Montana 139 reserves are also in the division. Farmland (cropland, pasture, livestock) covers most of the countryside, with lakes, wetlands and woods between; country and lakeshore residential lots cluster near Sylvan Lake and Gull Lake.
History
The Red Deer River divides Treaty 6 land to the north from Treaty 7 land to the south, in the ancestral territory of the Cree, Blackfoot and Métis. The Samson Cree Nation and Montana First Nation are Cree nations based at Maskwacis. Settlers took up claims in 1882 near the Calgary-Edmonton Trail's ford on the river, and when the railway arrived in 1890 the town moved about 5 km east to the line. Oil and gas finds from the late 1940s added industry to farming.
Services and access
Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre has a 24-hour emergency department for major trauma and cardiac care. Highway 2 (the QEII) runs through the division; Lacombe County is about 95 km from Edmonton and 140 km from Calgary. Red Deer Regional Airport serves charter flights and aviation businesses. Agriculture, oil and gas and public services are the main employers, and the Joffre and Prentiss petrochemical complexes are in Lacombe County.
Land and climate
Away from hamlets there are no municipal water or sewer lines, so rural homes rely on a well or hauled water and a septic field or holding tank built to provincial safety codes. Power, gas and telecommunications come from private providers. The province owns the beds and shores of most natural lakes, rivers and streams up to the legal bank; an Alberta Land Surveyor can confirm where a lot's boundary lies.
Before you buy
Each county sets zoning in its land use bylaw and issues development permits for houses and most buildings. Building, electrical, gas, plumbing and private sewage permits follow: Red Deer County issues these itself, Lacombe County leaves them to accredited safety codes agencies, and Ponoka County also uses an accredited agency. Filling low ground or altering a wetland or watercourse needs provincial approval under the Water Act or Public Lands Act. Check title for environmental reserve easements, which keep part of a lot natural, and look for low areas that flood, especially beside a river.
