Why Lloydminster
A heavy oil town in both our home provinces.
Lloydminster is the rare market that sits inside both provinces we already work in. It is the only city in Canada that straddles a provincial border, a single municipal administration spanning Alberta and Saskatchewan with the boundary running down 50 Avenue, and the 2021 Census counted 31,582 residents across the two sides. Because we carry WCB in Alberta and in Saskatchewan, there is no jurisdictional seam for us to cross to shoot here.
The economy is built on heavy crude. Lloydminster runs the Lloydminster Upgrader, processing local heavy oil into low-sulphur synthetic crude and diesel at roughly 81,000 barrels per day, an asphalt refinery operating since 1947 and described as Canada's largest asphalt supplier, thermal SAGD plants, and the conventional heavy oil and oilfield-services firms that ring them. Those are regulated, security-sensitive sites where the first qualifying question is where the imagery lives, and for the operators who require it we deliver an on-premise, single-tenant, air-gapped tour the cloud-only platforms cannot match.
We are a service-area provider here, not a Lloydminster storefront, and we never claim work we have not delivered. The two tours you can explore on this page are real Alberta work, the Brookfield Residential YMCA at Seton in Calgary and the City of Edmonton LRV, shown as quality examples of the standard we bring to a Lloydminster facility.
Beyond the plants, this is a genuine bi-provincial city with a full civic and recreation estate, the Servus Sports Centre, the Bioclean Aquatic Centre, civic buildings, and Lakeland College, plus the agricultural region it anchors, a real secondary engine that keeps the page more than an oil and gas page.
