Economic Development Hub

A region of opportunity is found in the County of Warner, with its northern boundary located just south east of Lethbridge, Alberta and its southern border located on the Canada/United States border. 

The County landscape provides a variety of visual experiences. Flatland to the rolling hills of the Milk River Ridge to the Hoodoos at Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park, from the recreation areas at Chin Lake and Ridge Reservoirs to the peaceful wetland at the Rush Lake Bird Sanctuary.

Most of the economy of the County is based on agriculture, both in dryland and irrigation production. In addition to crop-diversified agriculture production, the County has the potential and capability of supporting new recreational, tourism and industrial development. The County has the advantage of being located close to the large trading market in United States market as well as the City of Lethbridge to the north. These markets are served easily by Highway 4 which runs through the County from the U.S. Border at Coutts, Alberta towards the north.
