Ryley is located on the "Bears Paw" formation [700 metres of impervious clay below the village and area].
The Village of Ryley, once called Equity, is a small community of 460 residents located 50 minutes east of Edmonton on Highway 14 [the Poundmaker Trail]. The Village's slogan "Live the Life of Ryley" definitely rings true. There is a good life to live here if you enjoy tranquil country living, and it would be hard not to, based on what this community offers.
The Village of Ryley is a vibrant, family-oriented community, focused on innovative opportunities and environmental leadership while living the "Life of Ryley." Ryley's main street, growing every year, has a full range of services and amenities, including the impressive Ryley Community Centre that is available for any event. People come from all around for Ryley's Sports Day & Family Fair held on Father's Day weekend each year. This popular event includes activities for the whole family to enjoy, from a pancake breakfast and parade in the morning to fireworks at night. Local community groups also hold various events throughout the year, including a monthly Village Market at the Community Centre.
With a history dating back to 1910, the Village of Ryley is reaching it's Centennial in April 2010. Stay tuned for more details as events are planned to recognize this great milestone. "Ryley a proud history, a warm welcome".
