Marie Reine
Hamlet in Alberta, Canada
Marie Reine is a hamlet in northwest Alberta, Canada within Northern Sunrise County.[2] It is located approximately 18 km (11 mi) south of the Town of Peace River on four quarter sections split by Highway 744.
The French Canadian community got its start in 1949-1952 when settlers from Quebec and France migrated west for a better future. The hamlet has a unique community plan laid out by L’Abbe Pierre Paul Pothier where each lot is a twenty-acre strip abutting Highway 744.[citation needed]
