MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR
Greetings and I hope you enjoy the information package that you have received. As you
have asked for this package, you apparently are interested in what we have to offer.
Allow me to highlight some of the services and facilities of our Town.
To start with, Mayerthorpe is located at the junction of two major highway routes, these
being the ‘Canamex Trade Corridor’ and the ‘Cowboy Trail’. Highway 43 (the Canamex
Corridor) is a four-lane limited access highway allowing quick access to Edmonton (~1
hour) or north to Alaska or the Canadian Territories. Highway 22 (the Cowboy Trail) is a
tourist highway which runs from southern Alberta along the foothills through ranch
country to Mayerthorpe, its northern trail’s end. We also connect with Highway 18, 6 km
north of Town, which links us to the northeast portion of Alberta and the Oil Sands.
We, the Council and staff of the Town of Mayerthorpe, encourage all interested
developers and families who are interested in calling our Town ‘home’ to contact us so
that we may provide any help that we can in making your relocation easier. Council
works with the ‘GROWTH Alberta Economic Region’ and the ‘Community Futures
Yellowhead East’, as well as our own ‘Economic Development Board’ to help establish
new businesses in Town.
We invite you to go on-line at www.mayerthorpe.ca to view our Virtual 360 tour for a
birds-eye view of the community.
We proudly opened several new facilities in the community, including a new Aquatic
Centre which boasts a junior olympic size outdoor swimming pool and a water slide, a
new Exhibition Centre complete with an indoor walking/running track, a new senior’s
lodge featuring ‘aging-in-place’ rooms, an upgraded and expanded water treatment plant,
an upgraded sewage treatment plant which included the cleaning of lagoons and the
relining of sewer mains throughout the Town.
We have 2 long-term care facilities and a modern Health Care Centre with 6 doctors
serving the community and area. Ambulance service, a local RCMP detachment, a
Community Peace Officer, and a large fully-equipped and trained fire department
complete the protective services available to the Town and area.
Recreational opportunities abound for people of all ages, from baseball, soccer, and golf
to hockey, floor and ice curling, gymkhana, and rodeo. An active and growing public
library and drama and choir groups provide opportunities to expand your personal and
cultural interests. The Town has several playgrounds and parks, including the Fallen
Four Memorial Park, a beautiful place to rest and to contemplate.
The best part of Mayerthorpe has to be its people. Everyone has the time and the
inclination to say “hello and welcome”. If you need some help, just ask and someone
will make time to help you out and to shake your hand afterwards. It’s the people,
including all of our dedicated volunteers, who make this Town so special and what it is
today.
