Athabasca County, Town of Athabasca, & Village of Boyle Celebrate ALPAC’s 30th Anniversary

Athabasca County, the Town of Athabasca, and the Village of Boyle congratulate Alberta Pacific Forest Industries Inc (ALPAC) and team members on their 30th anniversary. ALPAC and team members contributions to the region in the past 30 years have been invaluable and continue to make the three municipalities a great place to live, work, and play.

ALPAC has been a major employer in the region. The regional economy thrives thanks to the contributions that ALPAC has made, and through the regular community support that they provide.

In recognition of this milestone, celebratory signs will be erected on Highway 55 at the access road to the ALPAC site, on Highway 55 on the curve at TWP road 674, and on Highway 63 at TWP road 685. In addition, community firepits will be installed in the Town of Athabasca riverfront and in the Village of Boyle.
