Guide to Rural Living

Life in rural Strathcona County is full of experiences: connecting to the land, raising animals, growing crops, seeing wildlife, enjoying the sense of freedom and privacy, the fresh air, peace and quiet, and the close-knit community with neighbours helping-neighbours.

Life in rural Strathcona County also brings new responsibilities. The way you care for your land may have impacts on the health of the entire landscape, the water quality and supply, wildlife habitat or your neighbour's property. 

This package is designed to help you consider some of the major factors that affect rural residents. It provides practical insights on land uses, development, conservation, bylaws, and safety, as well as recommendations on where you can find additional help or information if needed.
