Transportation
Innisfail is a thriving mid-sized community in what many say is the perfect location.
The Innisfail area has long been considered one of the most ideally located in the entire province.
Even before the town was incorporated in 1903, the area had a long history of providing convenience to transient voyagers and long-term settlers alike. Today, the town’s location still presents plenty of benefits to relocate here.
