Building Momentum Across the Region
With a young and emerging workforce, the County is encouraging value-added development that builds on local strengths while responding to what the world needs.
Turning local strengths into higher-value opportunities
Across agriculture, forestry, and energy, the focus is on turning raw materials into higher-value products, supporting innovation, and creating skilled jobs. From coal-replacement pellets to new approaches in alternative energy and emerging minerals, Mackenzie County is working with REDI and other regional partners to support practical, forward-thinking projects.
"Mackenzie County is looking ahead—at its people, its industries, and the opportunity to do more with what already exists here."
At the same time, investment in tourism and recreation—including recent development at the local ski hill—reflects a commitment to strong communities and a diversified regional economy, supported through collaboration with regional partners such as the Mackenzie Frontier Tourism Association (MFTA).
