About Wainwright
The town
Wainwright had about 6,600 people in the 2021 census, up 5.1% from 2016. Homesteaders took up land here in 1905 and 1906, and in 1908 the Grand Trunk Pacific (now CN) set out a townsite 4 km west of the earlier Denwood site; Wainwright became a town in 1910. In 1907 Ottawa fenced off Buffalo National Park south of town for bison, and when the herd was removed in 1939 the land passed to National Defence. That range, directly south of town, is now an army base, 3rd Canadian Division Support Base Detachment Wainwright, home to the Canadian Manoeuvre Training Centre. Oil and gas were found in the district in 1921. Wainwright Health Centre has a 24-hour emergency department, CT scanning, surgery and obstetrics.
Around it
The Municipal District of Wainwright No. 61 (about 4,300 people in 2021, about 4,100 km²) zones the rural land under Land Use Bylaw 1695 and issues development permits. Building, electrical, gas, plumbing and private sewage permits are separate, from Superior Safety Codes or The Inspections Group. Lakes in the MD include Clear, Ambler's, Salt and Dillberry, and there are campgrounds at Arm Lake, Riverdale, Fabyan and Ribstone. Wainwright Dunes Ecological Reserve, about 40 km southeast on the base's edge, protects dunes up to 30 m high; entry is on foot only. Highways 14 and 41 cross at Wainwright, on the CN main line about 200 km southeast of Edmonton. Edmonton International Airport has scheduled flights across Canada and abroad.
