The Village of Thorsby, with a population of 988, is located 30 minutes west of Leduc and 45 minutes southwest of Edmonton.
Located close to Pigeon Lake and Wizard Lake the summer recreation possibilities are endless. The Lion’s Campground located within the Village is used frequently and remains a peaceful, clean and family friendly place for camping or day use.
For indoor activities, the Recreation Complex is a great place for anyone of any age to spend time; hosting a public library, skating rink, weight room, bowling alleys, and racket ball courts. The Recreation Complex is currently under redevelopment with additional change rooms, a basketball court, a larger weight room and a dance/yoga studio being constructed.
Thorsby is located in the heart of an active agricultural area with much of the surrounding land used for crop and livestock production. The oil, natural gas and coal industry are also a major role player in providing residents with employment. Within the Village itself, the business sector is continually growing, especially new industrial park lots up for sale. Many of the residents have the luxury of being employed by many of the local businesses, allowing people to spend more time with family than commuting.
As the Village continues to grow, the peaceful, secure and friendly atmosphere of a small rural community remains. Thorsby offers an enviable quality of life for people of all ages.
