Athabasca (from the Métis Athabaska, meaning 'Place of the Reeds') is a small town located very close to the geographical centre of Alberta, Canada. Situated 150 km north of Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta, Athabasca sits in a bend of the Athabasca River where it is joined by the Tawatinaw Valley. Known as the ‘Gateway to the North’, it is a major through point for all locations north, such as Fort McMurray and Peace River.
