NOTE: Special Areas District
Parts of southeastern Alberta were hit particularly hard by the Depression and drought of the 1930s. In 1938, the Provincial Government established a special governing body – called the Special Areas Board - to provide municipal services and supports in place to enable this region to recover and thrive. Like a municipal government, the Special Areas Board looks after roads and parks, provides water and emergency services, manages public land and community pastures, and develops economic development and agricultural conservation strategies.
The Special Areas are not assigned an Alberta Environment and Parks Lands Division Officer and the Special Area Lands Division Working Zone Office should be contacted.
Environment and Parks Lands Division Working Zones - Special Areas No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4 contact information can be found in the individual Special Areas Label layers.
Alternatively, the complete office contact information can be found at the Special Areas Board website, under “Contact Us”.
