Vision

The Municipal District of Fairview No. 136 strives to provide a high quality of life and services for all residents while maintaining a strong sense of community pride and natural beauty. The main economic activities within the Municipality include agriculture, agricultural processing, oil and gas, tourism, and manufacturing.
