Town of Devon

Devon is situated in the north central area of the Province of Alberta, lying 26 km southwest of the City of Edmonton. This community adjoins the south bank of the North Saskatchewan River Valley. It initially emerged as a service centre catering to the oil and gas sector. Today, the new business ventures are helping to diversify its economy, while the oil industry continues to dominate Devon’s business sector. In addition to it, the commercial sector is also growing and creating new opportunities for professional retail and service-oriented businesses.

The Devonian Botanic Garden: It is a scenic collection of attractive gardens that includes the excellent 5-acre Kurimoto Japanese Garden.
