Town of Bonnyville

"It's Multi-Natural"

From its earliest fur trading days nearly 200 years ago, Bonnyville's economy has always been bound strongly to the bounty of the land. That agriculture tie continues, but now the traditional beef cattle and grain crops are supplemented by forestry, wild game farming and specialty crops.

"It's Multi-Natural"

Surrounded by lakes and majestic boreal forest, the town of Bonnyville, is a treasure trove of natural wonders.
