Diversity is our specialty - wide open spaces, fields and streams made to order for migrating birds and countless

sunsets - any nature lovers get-a-way.

2,072. The Municipal District of Provost No. 52 is home to 2,547 residents and sprawls over 5,632 quarters of land. The M.D. surrounds the Town of Provost and Villages of Amisk, Czar and Hughenden, including the hamlets of Bodo, Cadogan, Hayter and Metiskow. Hwy 13 intersects the M.D. from W (Camrose) to E (SK) and Hwy 41 N (Wainwright - Hwy 14) to S (Consort - Hwy 12). Sec 899 runs N and S into Provost, as does Sec 600 from Hwy 41, and Sec 599 cuts through the M.D. from the W to Hwy 41.

These protected sites are one of the most significant archaeological finds in western Canada!

private functions are held each year at the Rosenheim Church.

The Municipal District and Town of Provost invite you to !

Bodo, Capt. Ayre, Shorncliffe and a private Church Camp each offer group use areas for that perfect spot to host your family reunion, providing camping, outdoor serenity and privacy. The M.D. also maintains overnight highway campgrounds at Czar, Hansman Lake and Hayter. Looking for more excitement - the M.D. is home to a number of professional chuck wagon drivers and rodeo cowboys.
