Oyen


Oyen is a small town in eastern Alberta, close to the Saskatchewan boundary, north of Medecine Hat. It has a population of about 1,000. Since there are no other communities within quite a distance, it serves as the service centre for a large but sparsely populated dryland farming area.

It has a hospital, grain elevators, farm equipment dealerships, stores a golf course and a number of churches. The regional public high school is found here and it has a small Catholic elementary school.
