Company Description

Located directly northeast of Alberta’s capital city, Edmonton, this 582 square kilometer region is home to more than 40 world class companies with a combined investment of over $45 billion. The Heartland has expanded from a single company in the 1950’s to Canada’s largest hydrocarbon processing region, employing over 7,000 people.

Alberta's Industrial Heartland is guided by a non profit association of municipalities dedicated toward sustainable eco-industrial development. Alberta's Industrial Heartland Association (AIHA) was created in 1998 by the municipalities within the geographic area of Alberta's Industrial Heartland, including the City of Fort Saskatchewan, and the Counties of Lamont, Strathcona and Sturgeon. In 2010, the City of Edmonton became the fifth official municipal partner.

A leading principal of AIHA is promoting responsible development within the region. This includes ensuring the region is ready for development in its infrastructure, services, and land use zoning principles. AIHA recognizes that activities in the area can have a major impact on neighboring communities and affect their service delivery as well. Together, the municipalities take a proactive and cooperative approach to planning and industrial development.
