All things considered, the future of Wainwright looks very promising. Camp Wainwright, a major army training facility, has been designated as the Western Area Training Centre encompassing a region from Thunder Bay to Victoria. Extensive expansion to the Camp has been taking place and much more is planned.

Both oil & gas activity is prominent in the Wainwright area. Exploration, drilling and facility development are continuing on a regular basis. Being located on the edge of the huge oil reserves of Northeastern Alberta is a major advantage for Wainwright’s future oil industry.

Agriculture continues to be the primary industry of the community. The climate and soil conditions support a diverse production of crops and livestock.
