Village of Thorsby Village of Thorsby - Best of Both Worlds The Village of Thorsby is located on a major transportation route, Highway 39, which connects Thorsby to the City of Leduc to the east, and Drayton Valley to the west. A 30-minute drive will bring you to the intersection of Highway 39 and Highway 2, and the City of Edmonton is only a 15-minute trip away at that point. Agriculture plays a major role in the economy of Thorsby, but gas and oil exploration in the surrounding area also contribute. The Village of Thorsby owns and operates a major, $3.5 million recreation centre which houses a regulation size ice arena, bowling lanes, a library, racquet ball court, weight room and play school. "The village's logo, "Best of Both Worlds," is very appropriate and describes the attributes of the village fairly accurately. It truly describes the pleasure of "country living" in a small rural community while still being close to the large centres to accommodate services not available within the village. Being close to larger centres keeps the cost of living very competitive, which may be the main reason that business thrives in Thorsby."
