Chateh
Chateh is an unincorporated community in northern Alberta in Hay Lake I.R. 209, located 12 kilometres (7.5 mi) north of Highway 58, 91 kilometres (57 mi) northwest of High Level. It is also known as Assumption.
On May 13, 2023, the town was evactuated due to the ongoing 2023 Canadian wildfires, specifically the fire encroaching Long Lake.
Chateh is home to many historical buildings from its settlement in the early 1900s, when it served as a trading post for local indigenous communities. It was founded by a group of indigenous leaders who addressed the need for a gathering place for their communities.
