About the Pembina River
The Pembina River is a tributary of the Athabasca River in central Alberta, Canada. "Pembina" is an Indigenous word "Pimbina" (Cree) for the high bush cranberry or summerberry (Viburnum trilobum). The river gives the name to the Pembina oil field, an oil- and gas-producing region centered on Drayton Valley. The environmentalist group Pembina Institute also took its name from the river.
