Administrative Coordinator

Spanning approximately 1387 square kilometres, the Municipal District (MD) of Fairview No. 136 is among the smallest rural municipalities in Alberta. The MD is bordered by the mighty Peace River on the west and south sides and boasts one of the most picturesque welcomes in the province across the Dunvegan Bridge (colloquially known as the "Golden Gateway to the North").

As of 2021, the MD has a population of approximately 1580 residents. The rural municipality surrounds the Town of Fairview and includes the Hamlets of Bluesky and Whitelaw within its boundaries.

The main economic activities within the Municipality include agriculture, agricultural processing, oil and gas, tourism, and manufacturing. The preservation and strengthening of agriculture continue to be a primary focus, however progressive development, economic growth, and an environmentally responsible approach helps us move towards a financially sustainable future.
