Town of Valleyview

Valleyview is a town in northern Alberta, northwest of Edmonton, in the Municipal District of Greenview of Census Division 10.

It is located at the junction of Highway 43 and Highway 49, between the Little Smoky River and Sturgeon Lake. It's position in the junction of the two highways into the Peace Region has led to the town motto of Portal To The Peace.

The town is the birthplace of Rona Ambrose, the current Canadian Minister of the Environment, and politician Wyatt McIntyre.
