Chauvin Travel Guide

Welcome to Chauvin, Alberta

Located 275 km (170 mi) southeast of Edmonton and just 10 km (6 mi) west of the Saskatchewan border, this quiet prairie community was originally settled in 1908, when the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway laid tracks to the area. Chauvin quickly became a bustling trade and distribution centre and now sustains itself via agriculture and oil and gas production. The close-knit farming community is proud of its small, friendly village, where everybody knows everybody and rush hour just doesn't exist. In sharp contrast to the hectic pace of the city, Chauvin's rolling countryside and genuine village ambiance appeals to visitors looking to experience the traditional side of Alberta. As guests enjoy exploring the community's peaceful streets, they should be sure to stop in at the Chauvin and District Museum for a peek into the area's pioneer past. And “Susie” the World's Largest Softball always welcomes a photo opportunity at the entrance to the village.
