I pretty much grew up there (K-Gr.12). Went to AB for post secondary but came back and worked at one of the mills as a summer student throughout colle'dge. I can't comment on the work situation at the mills currently, as it's been a few years.
Not sure about rural housing/acreage/land prices, but last I heard houses (albeit nicer by comparison) on Bridger Drive by the golf course were going for AB prices. The east side of town would be cheaper.
The hunting is great- I've shot plenty of nice whitetails throughout the years. Never hunted the bears but I know a few people who had taken large blackies.
Great fishing all around too.
