Summary
The River Valley Alliance is a not-for-profit organization made up of the six shareholder municipalities that border the North Saskatchewan River in the Edmonton region: the Town of Devon, Parkland County, the City of Edmonton, Strathcona County, the City of Fort Saskatchewan, and Sturgeon County. Parkland County is a founding shareholder in the River Valley Alliance (RVA).
The River Valley Alliance (RVA) is all about connecting people to the river valley - and through the river valley - by making it easier to access and enjoy for all. All of six municipalities work together for the single goal of regional connectivity. This alliance is one of the most innovative and creative endeavours ever undertaken; in fact, it’s a model that’s never been duplicated in all of North America.
