Central Alberta, Geographic region in Alberta, Canada

Central Alberta extends from the Canadian Rockies in the west to Saskatchewan in the east, encompassing the North Saskatchewan River and Red Deer River valleys.

The region developed through agricultural settlements in the late 1800s, leading to the establishment of major communities like Red Deer and Camrose.

The Kerry Wood Nature Centre and Gaetz Lake Sanctuary in Red Deer provide educational programs about local wildlife and environmental conservation throughout the year.

The Queen Elizabeth II Highway serves as the main transportation corridor connecting the municipalities of Central Alberta with Edmonton and Calgary.

The Giants of the Prairies collection features large sculptures across the region, including an enormous mushroom in Vilna and a giant perogy in Glendon.
