Bonnyville is a town situated in East Northern Alberta, Canada between Cold Lake and St. Paul.

Bonnyville's economy is founded on its nearby petroleum reserves as well as its agricultural sector which consists mostly of grain farming and livestock.

As Bonnyville sits on the edge of the Athabasca Tar Sands, one of Canada's largest crude oil reserves, petrol companies like Imperial Oil and Canadian Natural Resources Limited have invested significantly to tap resources in the area.

Besides the aforementioned agricultural sectors, the municipality has seen increases in game farming, as well as specialty crop output.

Its strategic location between the markets of St. Paul and Cold Lake drives significant commercial activity, especially due to the latter's air force base.

[citation needed] Its construction was somewhat controversial as its cost exceeded the original estimate and required a tax hike for both residents of the town and the municipal district.

Federally, Bonnyville falls within the electoral district of Lakeland, a newly re-created riding which is currently held by Shannon Stubbs of the Conservative Party, also first elected in 2015.
