| Lloydminster is located in the Central Parkland Region on both the Saskatchewan and Alberta side. It is Canada's only "border city", with the provincial border running through the centre of the city, creating a truly unique municipality. Lloydminster is 251 km east of Edmonton, Alberta and 275 km west of Saskatoon, Saskatchewan on the Yellowhead Highway # 16.
This geographical region consists of aspen woodlands, fescue grasslands, shrublands and wetlands on gently rolling landscape. The vegetation of the aspen parkland with its associated animal life is divided into three Subregions - Central, Foothills and Peace River - which are separated on the basis of geographic location and major floristic differences. |
