Alberta’s
Special Areas

In the heart of southeastern Alberta’s grasslands lies Special Areas 2, 3, and 4. This region encompasses the communities of Consort, Empress, Hanna, Oyen, Veteran, Youngstown, and the MD of Acadia #34, as well as many farmers and ranchers who call the surrounding Special Areas home. Just a couple of hours away from major urban centres, Special Areas offers all the amenities of big-city life without the inconveniences of traffic and crowds.
