INTRODUCTION
Those who live in, work in and visit the Municipal District of Opportunity No. 17
understand how aptly its name describes this natural haven. As the third largest
Alberta municipality in geographical size, this region of 3.14 million hectares has
abundant room for exploration, adventure and initiative, which is reflected in its
remarkable progress and growth in recent years.
Rich in natural resources, the M.D. of Opportunity No. 17 is experiencing major
development within the petroleum and forestry industries, exploration in diamond
mining, and expansion of its tourism sector.
Amid the lushly forested countryside and pristine lake waters, more than 5,000
people, including some 2,000 residents of the Bigstone Cree Nation, inhabit the
area, most living in seven small communities. Mindful of the cultural and
historical treasures in their midst, the people of the M.D. of Opportunity also have
an affinity for the land based on respect for its bounty and a sense of
responsibility for its gifts.

HISTORY
The fur trading era in the 1800s had a significant impact on north-central
Alberta’s indigenous people. Woodland Cree, who had mostly displaced the
original Athapaskan peoples in the mid-1700s, intermarried with European fur
traders, creating a new population of Métis inhabitants.
Wabasca, home to many Cree and Métis people, served as the trade centre for
smaller settlements further north, such as Peerless, Chipewyan and Trout lakes.
The primary economic supports at that time were fishing, trapping and freighting.
From 1897 to 1899, the Klondike Gold Rush brought a surge of prospectors
through northern Alberta. In addition, settlement pressures were beginning to
cause conflict. This persuaded the federal government to take a more active role
in the affairs of the north, culminating in the negotiation of Treaty 8. It was initially
signed by the Cree at Grouard, followed by those in other communities, including
the Wabasca area. Métis claims were dealt with by issuing scrip, in the form of
cash or homestead land.
Eventually, after Alberta became a province in 1905, this large area northeast of
Lesser Slave Lake was placed under the administration of Improvement District
17 East (North). In 1995, it was incorporated as the Municipal District of
Opportunity.
Reflecting this historical and cultural context are the names of the various
communities. Wabasca is derived from the Cree word “wapuskau”, meaning
“grassy narrows”; Desmarais is named after Father Alphonse Desmarais, the first
missionary there; Chipewyan Lake refers to the Chipewyan Indians, who wore
tunics that the Cree called “cheepo wyan” – pointed skins; Calling Lake was
given its moniker because of the peculiar sounds produced as it freezes; and
Peerless Lake was known for its “peerless beauty”.
This fascinating blend of history, culture, rich resources and raw beauty
characterizes the M.D. of Opportunity. It is a land filled to overflowing with the
prospects of a glowing future.

LOCATION AND GEOGRAPHY
The M.D. of Opportunity is located in the boreal region of north-central Alberta,
approximately 375 km north of Edmonton. The Municipal District takes in
approximately 29,180 square kilometers of land that receives an average annual
precipitation of 490 mm and 2,174 annual hours of sunshine.
Elevations vary, but the highest point in Wabasca is 373 meters feet above sea
level. Topography and ecosystems are diverse, including vast expanses of
mixed-wood forest broken by numerous lakes, muskegs and rivers, the rolling
hills of the Pelican Mountains, and some farmland supported by Class 3 and 4
soils.
Secondary Highways 754, 813, 686, and primary Highway 88 link the population
within the M.D. with the outside communities of Slave Lake, Athabasca and
Peace River. The M.D. is also served by an airport south of Wabasca.
SOIL
Soil classification for this area is class 3 and class 4. Class 3 and 4 are
considered capable of sustained use for cultivated field crops

ECONOMY
Natural resources are the basis for the economic prosperity of the M.D. of Opportunity.
Oil and gas exploration and extraction, along with forestry logging, have generated
substantial economic development in the region for decades. More recently, diamond
exploration activities have sparked hopes for the birth of industrial-quality diamond
mining in M.D. fields.
However, the mining of rich tourism potential is perhaps a more realistic goal for the
near future. The M.D.’s natural attributes have had limited external exposure until
recently; however, since the district’s significant improvements to camping and
recreational areas in recent years word is spreading rapidly – the lakes, woods and
wildlife are gems worth travelling for.
The provincial government’s planned construction of a highway from Fort McMurray to
Peace River is expected to have a positive impact on all economic sectors. The road
will traverse the M.D. of Opportunity, opening up the northern area to more industrial
growth.
Industry Profiles
Forestry
Logging and the production of wood products have been important to the M.D.’s
prosperity for decades, thanks to the magnificent stands of boreal timber. Considerable
employment and contract work is generated in the production of pulp, lumber, veneer,
oriented strand board and other by-products.
Alberta Pacific Forest Industries (ALPAC) is the largest operator, with a mill located
near Calling Lake and an office in Wabasca. Companies headquartered outside of the
M.D., but conducting work within it, include: Weyerhaeuser Canada, Vanderwell
Contractors, Alberta Plywood and Slave Lake Pulp Corporation.
The industry’s commitment to sound forest resource management and environmental
stewardship is a good indicator of continued economic success.

14
Oil and Gas
Primary and secondary industries associated with oil and gas exploration and extraction
have mushroomed in the M.D. of Opportunity, particularly where major fields surround
the hamlets of Wabasca, Red Earth Creek and Calling Lake. This thriving activity has
yielded a higher tax base for the M.D. and substantial employment and entrepreneurial
opportunities for residents.
Major oil and gas companies operating in the M.D. include: Alberta Energy Company,
Canadian Natural Resources, Northstar Energy Corporation, Conoco-Phillips,
PanCanadian Resources, Gibson Energy, Husky Oil, Chevron, Devon Canada,
Enerplus, Bronco Energy, EnCana and Shell.
Agriculture
There is a limited amount of mixed farming at the southern end of the M.D.
Tourism
For those who enjoy outdoor escapes the M.D. of Opportunity offers nearly endless
activities. Bountiful fishing is one of the biggest attractions, but other popular pursuits
are camping, boating, canoeing, hiking, swimming, picnicking and eco-touring.
Two provincial parks – Calling Lake and Rock Island Lake – provide excellent fishing
and camping facilities. The Lions Club Wabasca Recreational Area boasts many recent
camping upgrades, along with a fishing pier and boat launch areas. There are
numerous day-use areas with swimming and picnicking sites.
Other M.D. communities provide a wide variety of activities: Red Earth Creek has a
shooting range and travel amenities; Sandy Lake and Peerless Lake, with their serene
beauty and healthy fish stocks, are ideal locations for bird watchers. Trout and
Chipewyan Lakes are home to abundant forms of wildlife.

BUSINESS DIRECTORY 2009
The business community in the M.D. of Opportunity is typical of the smaller centres and
rural areas of Alberta in that it is primarily made up of small businesses. Small
businesses are defined by Statistic Canada as having fewer than 100 employees if they
produce goods, or fewer than 50 employees for service-producing firms,
The M.D. is home to a wide variety of retail/service, commercial, light and heavy
industry, and highway commercial ventures.
While these businesses provide much-needed services throughout the MD, there are
many additional opportunities that are required.

QUALITY OF LIFE
The remote nature of many of the small communities in the M.D. of Opportunity
makes for hardy people with strong social networks. An impressive number of
services, facilities and organizations are backed by both local governments
and/or championed by an enthusiastic volunteer sector.
The residents’ health care needs are met through a regional health authority
which operates several community health offices in various locales, as well as
the Wabasaca General Hospital. Wabasca also has a state-of-the-art recreation
centre with a pool, fitness equipment and other wellness features. Policing,
ambulance and fire protection services are maintained throughout the region.
