Lac La Biche Real Estate
Lac La Biche is one of Alberta's oldest continuously inhabited communities — the Hudson's Bay Company post here dates to 1798, and the Lac La Biche Mission established in 1853 is one of the oldest European settlements in what would become Alberta. That deep history coexists with a vibrant Metis culture and a modern community that anchors an extraordinary lake district.

What is the Lac La Biche Mission?
Established in 1853 by Oblate missionaries, the Lac La Biche Mission is one of the oldest European settlements in Alberta and a designated Provincial Historic Resource.
