About Athabasca
The town
Athabasca is a town on the Athabasca River about 145 km north of Edmonton, where Highway 2 meets Highway 55, with 2,759 people in 2021, down from 2,965 in 2016. It began as Athabasca Landing: the Hudson's Bay Company put up a seasonal trading post here in 1877, and from 1888 scows and sternwheelers built here carried freight north until railways bypassed the river route. It became a town in 1911 and took its present name in 1913. Athabasca University, a distance-education university, moved here in 1984. The Athabasca Healthcare Centre is an acute-care hospital with a 24-hour emergency department. The town issues its own development permits, and The Inspections Group Inc. handles building, electrical, gas and plumbing permits and inspections.
Around it
The countryside is Athabasca County (6,959 people in 2021 on about 6,100 km²), which handles development permits, subdivision and rezoning outside town. The county is not accredited under Alberta's Safety Codes Act, so building, electrical, gas, plumbing and private sewage permits come from authorized private agencies, overseen by the Alberta Safety Codes Authority. Baptiste Lake, about 17 km west, has a county campground, boat launch and fishing pier, and the county runs campgrounds or launches at Island, Jackfish, Long, Narrow, Ghost and Hope lakes. Trans Canada Trail sections follow the Tawatinaw River south of town and run north of the Athabasca River, and about 10 km of the old Athabasca Landing Trail is open from town to Colinton. Edmonton International Airport has the nearest scheduled flights.
