The Lower Peace Region is a land-use framework region in northern Alberta, Canada. One of seven in the province, each is intended to develop and implement a regional plan, complementing the planning efforts of member municipalities in order to coordinate future growth. Corresponding roughly to major watersheds while following municipal boundaries, these regions are managed by Alberta Environment and Parks.[1]
With only 37,759 inhabitants spread over 29% of Alberta's landmass, it is the largest, least populated, and least densely populated region of the province.[2]
