The Town of Vermilion places a high priority on Economic Development - but just like you, we know that there is more to life than business. Vermilion has a quality of life that is second to none. We have the best of both worlds - big city amenities with small-town friendliness and security.
Strategically located along the picturesque Vermilion River at the main intersection of Yellowhead Highway #16 and Buffalo Trail Highway #41, Vermilion is a hub within the Alberta Eastern Trade Corridor. Two hours east of Edmonton, Alberta and the Edmonton International Airport and only 30 minutes to Lloydminster, AB/SK. Vermilion has become and is recognized as a strong and effective service centre.
Our local economy is based primarily on three key sectors - agriculture, oil and gas industry and education. With developments in Industrial, Highway Commercial and Residential and Vermilion's high speed internet service 'V-Net' the Town of Vermilion is ready and open for new investment. Many of our existing businesses are family owned and operated with some of these businesses over one hundred years old.
Vermilion offers quality parks including the Vermilion Provincial Park, Heritage Park, recreational and cultural facilities and programs complimented by well designed neighborhoods and crescents, along with a mix of commercial and industrial businesses. We also offer outstanding medical services.
We like to shop locally in Vermilion where familiar faces greet customers within an array of businesses including pharmacy, clothing, furniture, hardware/lumber, agricultural dealership, oilfield companies, boutiques and restaurants. Our residents are outstanding citizens donating their time, talents and finances to local boards, cultural groups, committees and sports teams. Vermilion is so active it is hard not to get involved.
