Wainwright -

A community of growth

For over 90 years, we have enjoyed steady growth - the mark of a well-balanced community. Wainwright, originally an agricultural service center for the region, has grown with the addition of the oil and gas industry and Canadian military ASU/CFB Wainwright to the area.

The immediate trading region now boasts a population of over 14,000 people who are employed in various industries including:

• Professional and Technical Service industries
• Government agencies including health care and education
• Retail sales
• Military
• Oil and gas industry
• Transportation
• Construction
• Manufacturing
• Agriculture

The Wainwright Main Street Project has been helping businesses in Wainwright renovate their storefronts.

Modern commercial development continues.

The construction sector remains very active.
