What started as a professional move turned into a lifelong connection for Dr. Sloan and his family — so much so, even his kids came back.

When Dr. Mark Sloan returned to Edson nearly three decades ago as a newly minted chiropractor, he was drawn to the town’s rare economic diversity and prime location between Edmonton and Jasper. But it was the community that truly won him over. He and his family were welcomed with open arms — invited to sleigh rides, camping trips, church gatherings, festivals, and more. That warmth never faded. Today, not only has Edson offered Dr. Sloan a fulfilling practice and an unbeatable quality of life, but it’s also inspired his children, now professionals themselves, to return and build their lives here too.
