We are a rural community of 4,030 people living to the north, south, and west of Lesser Slave Lake, which is our settled area and including the larger oil field surrounding the Town of Swan Hills.

The M.D. includes the unincorporated hamlets of Grouard, Enilda, Joussard, Faust, and our newest hamlet, Kinuso, which dissolved from Village status on September 1, 2009. The Towns of Swan Hills and High Prairie, the Gift Lake, East Prairie and Peavine Metis Settlements, and the Kapawe’no, Sucker Creek, Driftpile, and Swan River First Nations are all located within our boundaries. However they are independent bodies: each has its own council and administers its own affairs within its boundaries.

The major sources of income for the municipality are property taxes, provincial government grants, and user fees for utilities and other services.
