Area Overview
Known as the "Portal to the Peace", the Town of Valleyview is the main urban centre for a large trading area, and the first as one enters the beautiful Peace River Country of Alberta. Valleyview focuses on meeting the needs and expectations of retail and service businesses, industries, local consumers and travellers.
Valleyview is a thriving nucleus of trade and commerce, being almost equidistant from Grande Prairie and Peace River and located on the major arterial highways servicing northwestern Alberta and points further north. The Town provides a wide range of government, consumer, and industrial services to an area of over 50,000 square miles.
The regional focus of the community is accentuated by the presence of provincial and municipal government services, regional health care facilities, and educational administration.
The proximity to the forests and lakes make Valleyview a logical destination point for those wishing to spend some time in the great outdoors. There are a variety of amenities awaiting you at the Provincial Parks and campgrounds. Best of all, the air and water are clean and the fish are easy to catch.

Community Lifestyle
Recreation
The Valleyview region is part of "Big Game Country" and is noted for its abundance of wildlife for viewing and hunting. Moose, elk, and both whitetail and mule deer are most frequently seen although black bears are prevalent. Fur bearing animals such as coyotes and lynx are common but elusive and are only seen by the most observant. Sturgeon Lake just west of town is renowned for the spring walleye run and is one of the few places where Alberta's favourite game fish can be caught all year. The lake also yields pike, perch and whitefish. Trout are stocked at East Dollar Lake just north of Valleyview, at Swan Lake southeast of Crooked Creek, and in the Valleyview Trout Pond.
Valleyview also provides numerous recreational facilities and services, including conference and convention facilities for residents and visitors alike. Facilities include 1 arena, 5 ball diamonds, 4 community halls and meeting facilities, 1 curling rink [4 sheets and lounge], 1 fairground, two 9-hole golf course, 4 gymnasiums, and 1 outdoor swimming pool. Cross-country skiing trails are available at Sunset House, one of the nearby Hamlets in the area, and the Little Smoky River Ski Hill is located north of Valleyview.

Economic Base
The economic base of Valleyview is agriculture, oil and gas, forestry, and sand and gravel.
A great diversity of field crops are raised in the area, including wheat, barley, oats, canola, seed crops and quality forage crops that support a productive livestock sector. The large available land base and favourable growing conditions in the area provide for good expansion opportunities.
The petroleum industry also has a major impact on the regional economy. In search of natural gas and oil reserves, a number of seismic crews and drilling operations work in the region. This activity has spawned an array of petroleum service businesses in such areas as exploration, instrumentation, monitoring, transport, maintenance and equipment. As a result, this industry has become a primary source of employment for residents of the Valleyview area.
Forestry is a significant industry within the Valleyview area. Canadian Forest Products Ltd. [Canfor] is the major forest user. The southwest portion of the Valleyview trade area falls within this company's Forest Management Agreement area as does the area surrounding Puskwaskau Lake. Canfor's operations focus on the harvesting of softwoods for the production of lumber in its Grande Prairie mill.
The Alberta Forest Service also has areas where softwood permits are available for use by local residents. These permits are offered on an annual basis and provide wood for small local mills. Local residents may also harvest and sell timber from a selection of these permits to large companies as an additional source of income. The areas of harvest include DeBolt, Whitemud, Crooked Creek, Valleyview and Little Smoky areas.
The harvesting of hardwoods [aspen] is increasing in importance in this region. The Daishowa pulp mill in Peace River has created a market demand for deciduous wood from the Valleyview area. Commercial interest of the hardwood resource has been shown in the Sturgeon Heights and Puskwaskau areas, as well as areas east of the Little Smoky River.
Finally, sand and gravel extraction is also an important component of the area's resource base. There are numerous active surface materials leases found in the area, primarily located on the banks and valleys of the Smoky, Little Smoky, Simonette and Waskahigan Rivers.
