Bio-Mile

Drayton Valley’s Bio-Mile ~ Shaping Innovation in the Fiber Industry

Rather than view the closure of the Weyerhaeuser’s Drayton Valley OSB facility as a detriment, we have been working to create new opportunities in using the wood bio-mass in new and innovative processes. Despite the loss of tax revenue and jobs that resulted from the OSB closure, we believe that the Bio-Mile will pull our community through these hard times.

Drayton Valley relies on the oil and gas industry, agricultural operations and forestry. We are fortunate to have the support of local entrepreneurs in the oil and gas sector which will collaborate to diversify their businesses by investing in support services, as well as the new opportunities presented through this initiative.
