What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community, like Avenir, is a settlement that doesn't have its own separate city or town government. Instead, it's part of a larger administrative area, such as a county or municipal district. For Avenir, this means it's managed by Lac La Biche County.

People living in unincorporated communities still have access to services like roads and emergency help. These services are provided by the larger county government. These communities are often smaller and have fewer residents compared to incorporated towns or cities.
