Why Opportunity

This is Opportunity, and it’s yours for the making. A chance to do more, be more, and not waste a single minute more.

We boast affordable housing and costs of living and business (15% lower than Alberta average with the lowest residential tax rate in the province), and we will continue to focus on, give support to, and invest in our community infrastructure and amenities, ourselves and our abilities, and our tremendous potential for the building and bolstering of Indigenous land-based and “learn-to” tourism and entrepreneurship, business start-ups, and the birth and growth of new industries.

For a more prosperous future, we will empower ourselves by leveraging the primary resource we have – our people. We will see the attraction and welcoming of new families, new ideas and skillsets, and new stories into our circle of opportunity, and we will concentrate our efforts on the supporting and mentoring of our young people—our future leadership generations—to instil in them wise teachings, a lasting sense of both self-reliance and interdependence, and a renewed relationship with the land. In their joy we can share in equality and community. In their minds we can find bold solutions. And in their hearts, we as a place and a people can be endless.

With year-round recreational adventure out your backdoor, an abundance of natural resources at your feet, and the time and freedom to find a deeper connection to the land, to culture, to each other, and to the centre of yourself within your grasp, don’t waste the Opportunity to make your move down more diversified and prosperous economic and community development pathways.

Here in the MD of Opportunity:

We are what we make of it.
We will invest in ourselves.
We will instil a lasting sense of self-empowerment and self-reliance.
We will pursue a deeper connection to the land, to culture, and to each other.
