An Economic Powerhouse

We may be known as a leader in North America's petroleum industry, but Strathcona County isn't a "one-trick pony". The local economy here is thriving, and hugely diverse, including both large, international corporations and small home-based businesses. With no business license required and no business tax, Strathcona is a fantastic place to be an entrepreneur and turn a great idea into a brand new business opportunity.

And while business and industrial innovation is encouraged and promoted, Strathcona County also prioritizes environmental protection and sustainability, striking a great balance between growth, economic prosperity, and conservation. Environmental stewardship and programs are a key part of Strathcona County's strategic development: We have such a beautiful, gorgeous piece of Alberta and we want it stay that way!
