The egg and the festival
The giant pysanka, a Ukrainian Easter egg, was built in 1974 to mark the RCMP's 100th anniversary and appeared on a 2009 Canada Post stamp. The Pysanka Festival has run on the first weekend of July since 1973, with grandstand shows, cultural performances, a pioneer village and a market. The 41 Combat Engineer Regiment holds the Freedom of the Town.

Making the supply work for you
With roughly 8.1 months of detached supply, a Vegreville buyer can line up three or four homes in a single day and compare them side by side. The team uses the time each listing has spent on the market to frame offers: a house listed for several months usually has more room than one that came out last week. Ask for the furnace, roof and water heater ages on each, since many Vegreville homes date from the 1950s to 1980s.
A town split by the railway
A CN line runs through town. When choosing a street, check train noise and crossing waits at the times you will be driving.
Who buys here
Retirees, families with Ukrainian roots in the area, and workers at local farms and businesses. With this much supply, a seller elsewhere should not count on a quick resale later, so buy a house you would keep.
