WELCOME
On behalf of the citizens of
Strathmore I welcome you to our
town and I invite you to stop, visit and
experience our way of life.
Strathmore is the gateway to the
Badlands. We are 100 years young
and are a growing community of
12,500. Close enough to enjoy the city
attractions in Calgary but far enough
away to enjoy the quiet rural lifestyle.
A community where the prairies meet
the wetlands. Where our proud past
is part of our exciting future.
We say “Quality of Life is a
Way of Life”.
We exude Quality of Life throughout
our many recreational facilities. This
includes a Family Centre with two
indoor rinks, home of the UFA Bisons,
a team that consistently competes
at the Macs Midget Tournament in
Calgary. The indoor Aquatic Centre
features a six-lane competitive pool,
waterslide, climbing wall, hot tub,
children’s pool and diving board;
something for the whole family. A
four sheet curling rink, outdoor tennis
courts, ball diamonds, soccer pitches
an 18-hole golf courses are located in
Strathmore for your enjoyment.
We enhance the Quality of Life with
our parks and pathways system that
is continually expanding to ensure a
walkable and active community. With
over 50km of pathways, including
a paved loop around the beautiful
Kinsmen Lake and the wetlands at
Grays Park, families and running
enthusiasts enjoy a scenic route
every day. Download the S’more
Paths App from the Apple App Store
today to track your route through
town.
Quality of Life is exemplified by an
outstanding hospital with 24 hour
emergency care, an excellent
school system, admirable seniors’
residences and lodges, attractive
neighborhoods with many well
maintained parks. Kinsmen Park is in
the heart of Strathmore where one
can enjoy live music in the outdoor
amphitheater, youth and seniors can
enjoy fishing on the lake, and the kids
can run through the Lions Slash Park
in the summer.
Quality of Life is celebrated year
round by the thriving artistic and
cultural community. The Strathmore
Theatre Players are a highly
successful group that puts on various
plays throughout year. In the fall you
can see what our local artists have to
offer at the Arts & Sounds in the
Park Festival.
Quality of life is expressed through
our amazing residents who dedicate
their time to their community.
There are numerous clubs and
organizations available to adults,
youth and seniors alike including the
Happy Gangs Senior Centre and the
Youth Club of Strathmore. Volunteers
are always welcome to participate in
major community events like Canada
Day Celebrations, Heritage Days
Stampede, the Santa Clause Parade
& Celebration of Lights, and Relay for
Life, just to name a few. I encourage
all citizens to find something that
sparks their interest and help make
Strathmore an even better place to
work, live and play.
Strathmore is proud to have hosted
the Western Canadian Junior B
Softball Championships in 2004 and
2006, the ATB Alberta Cup hockey
tournament in 2013 and 2014, the Tour
of Alberta Pro-Cycling Race in 2013
and we are looking forward to the
2015 Alberta 55 plus Summer Games
in Strathmore.
You can enjoy our Quality of Life in
our many local stores. Our shops
and services will meet everyone’s
desires. Strathmore is proud to
have been named the Best Small
Community for Business in Western
Canada by Venture Magazine in 2012.
We’re not stopping; we are looking
to the future by offering more for
our citizens. Future plans include
more shopping, a revitalization of
our downtown businesses and more
family friendly facilities. Strathmore
offers numerous development
opportunities, with a broad base of
commercial, industrial and residential
land, primed for development.
Whether you are visiting, looking to
relocate your business, or looking for
a new place to call home, Strathmore
is a place you will find caring,
friendly, compassionate people.
Welcome to our Home!

COMMUNITY
Nestled along the heart of the
TransCanada Highway in Alberta is
the vibrant community of Strathmore
– where quality of life is a way of life.
Known as one of Canada’s fastest
growing communities, Strathmore
provides the idyllic lifestyle for
families, with a high-quality standard
of living.
This community of over 12,500 boasts
spirit, excellent recreation, business
opportunities and a strong education
system. Strathmore offers all the
benefits of living in a safe community,
but also has the advantage of being
a community just 22 minutes east of
Calgary. A quick drive down Highway
1, west of Strathmore, leads right into
one of Canada’s largest cities.
Families are provided with all sorts
of recreational opportunities from
the Family Centre; which boasts
Olympic and NHL sized ice surfaces,
to the Aquatic Centre, which includes
a kiddie pool, hot tub, water slide,
multi-purpose room and lane pool.
Additionally, Strathmore has soccer
fields, baseball diamonds, numerous
parks and walking paths, a golf
course within the town, and various
golf courses in close proximity to the
town.
Strathmore’s Parks Department
strives to provide parks, open
spaces and pathways that enrich the
leisure needs and quality of life for
citizens. The community endeavours
to establish playgrounds that are
appropriate for a wide range of ages
and offers opportunities for creative
fun.
Kinsmen Park is a fantastic spot for
families to enjoy year-round. Located
in the downtown core, Kinsmen
Park has pathways, ice skating in
the winter, gazebos, picnic benches,
docks for fishing, a playground,
washroom facilities and a brand new
amphitheatre.
A popular destination on a hot
summer day is the Lions Spray Park,
located on the south end of Kinsmen
Park. The spray park includes a great
variety of colourful spray apparatus
that are activated by touch.
Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate
the Ducks Unlimited projects and
variety of wildlife at many ponds and
wetlands throughout Strathmore.
Gray’s Park, located on the east side
of Wheatland Trail, is a great spot for
families in all seasons. Throughout
the winter it is a normal sight to
see people gathering for a game of
shinny or for a leisurely skate. During
the warmer months the well used
paths come to life as people enjoy
the wildlife, flora and fauna in their
natural habitats.
Spirit drives this community and
there are hundreds of opportunities
to get involved. No matter what your
interests are, there is something for
you.
Volunteers are always welcome
to participate in major community
events such as the Canada Day
celebrations, Heritage Days, Relay
for Life, and the ever-popular
Celebration of Lights. Being involved
in these events, or those put on by
the many schools, churches and
community service groups, brings
people together to develop lifelong
friendships and the opportunity to
give back.
Strathmore is a bustling community
with a wide-range of housing
available. Whether you want to
be close to downtown, or schools,
modern residential developments,
brand new subdivisions, adult
communities, or townhouses, there
is plenty to choose from in affordable
price ranges.
Thanks to the East Calgary Regional
Waterline, Strathmore is now being
supplied with potable water from the
City of Calgary. The line was finished,
successfully commissioned and has
been in service since January 2012.
To supplement the potable water is
the new wastewater treatment plant,
managed by EPCOR. Strathmore
can now meet the water demands
of a population of more than 30,000
residents.
If you want to re-locate to a
community that has plenty to offer
and is a short distance from Calgary;
the Strathmore quality of life is well
worth the drive.

Strathmore
HISTORY
Strathmore began as a community
willing to give more when on July
28, 1883 Canadian Pacific forces
manually laid 6.38 miles of track
across the prairies to set a record.
For a town this was a significant
stretch of track because it ended that
day on the south side of what was
later to become the unloading point
for thousands of settlers.
The CPR was empowered with
naming the hamlets that sprang up at
its sidings as the steel ribbons were
laid across the country.
Although it is not recorded who
named the original site Strathmore,
it is known that a Scot named
James Ross was in charge of the
project and he was inclined to giving
Scottish names to the sidings.
In 1905, with the development of the
irrigation system, the original Hamlet
of Strathmore was moved four miles
north and centered around the
5,600 foot siding there. This move
to its present location is what gave
the town its legacy “the town that
moved”.
By 1886 the intensive advertising
campaign, launched by the Federal
Government with the CPR to bring
settlers west, was beginning to work.
The Town was booming with lots
being opened for sale in 1905 and
by 1906 the CPR began selling land
at $12 to $15 per acre, with irrigable
land at $18 to $25 per acre.
By 1906 both irrigation water and
settlers from the U.S. and the
“old country” were pouring into
Strathmore and the CPR began
planning for the development
of what was to become a world
demonstration farm. The farm was
designed to act as both a model
and an instruction tool for settlers,
many of whom had never farmed
before. The majority of the 2,000 acre
demonstration farm was cultivated
and almost 700 acres was irrigated.
As time progressed, so did the farm’s
development.
In order to supply the tourist trains
that were traveling to the Rockies,
the CPR grew vegetables and flowers
for the dining cars and CPR hotel
facilities. In addition, “to make the
area seem like a Shangri-La to the
immigrants”, there were experiments
with exotic plants.
Although Strathmore and area was
settled and developed by the CPR, by
the middle 1950’s it was obvious that
highway competition was eliminating
the railway’s freight business. But
it was not until 1981 that the actual
last rail was removed. Yet the CPR
left Strathmore a living legacy – the
irrigation system. Tuned over the
users in 1944, the irrigation system
continues to operate today under
the management of the Western
Irrigation District.

HERITAGE DAYS
Rodeo has been an integral part of
Alberta’s history and the spirit and
enthusiasm for this western sport
remains strong and vibrant in the
community of Strathmore during the
long weekend of August.
Although the rodeo is a huge part of
Heritage Days, the many visitors to
our community will enjoy all that rural
fair has to offer, along with many
added features that will appeal to all
ages.
The famous Running with the
Bulls event, which patterns itself
after Spain’s Pamplona, is a heart
stopping, exciting two nights that
brings people from all over to watch
the brave (and maybe a little crazy)
people run with the rodeo bulls that
would just as soon hook you and
trample you as they would run by
you!! Just what the audience wants!!
You will be entertained daily with
rodeo events that bring top Canadian
and American cowboys and cowgirls
to test their abilities against the best
rodeo stock in North America. The
Strathmore Heritage Days Rodeo is
the third largest Pro Rodeo in Canada
and you can be assured that with this
kind of prize money up for grabs, you
will see the best of the best in the
arena.
Following the rodeo each day is the
Half Mile of Hell races. The WPCA
brings out the best of the 36 wagon
drivers as they pit their horses and
their driving skills against each other
to come out on top. Exciting is a non
descriptive word when it comes to
Chuckwagon racing – you have to be
there to experience the pounding of
the horses and the dirt flying in the
faces of the outriders! The roar of the
fans is just as loud as the pounding
hooves as the teams reach the final
homestretch and race to the finish
line in front of the grandstand. You
just have to be there!
The Encana Stage draws hundreds
to listen to the musical talents of
the big ticket names and the local
celebrities, each and every day and
night of Heritage Days. Between
entertainment numbers, before and
after the rodeo and wagon races
you will want to wander around the
grounds taking in all the agricultural
displays, the trade and craft show
and petting zoo. And do not forget
about the FOOD!! Many concessions
that offer the most tempting of dishes
and the candy floss and candy apples
– the staple of all fairs!
If you do not find something that
meets your idea of entertainment
then you’re just not looking!!
COME ON OUT to the STRATHMORE
HERITAGE DAYS STAMPEDE and let
our small community atmosphere
ENTERTAIN YOU in a BIG WAY!!

EMERGENCY RESPONSE
Strathmore’s Emergency Response
Information is a specialized webpage,
which will be activated in the case of
an emergency within the community
of Strathmore or if an emergency is
actively occurring directly outside of
the limits at www.strathmore.ca.
What does Strathmore do to prepare
for an Emergency?
Strathmore has recognized the
substantial portion of emergency
planning is identifying and assessing
risks so action can be taken to avoid
them, minimize them, and deal with
them if they happen.
As part of this process, Strathmore
has established a formal Emergency
Response Plan to deal with major
emergencies or crises. Strathmore’s
emergency management program
consists of the following:
Locally Owned & Operated
strathmore
• Emergency Response Plan
• Formation of a community
emergency management program
committee
• Mutual aid agreements
What information will be available?
During an emergency, it would be
the community’s objective to keep
all citizens and agencies informed
as quickly as possible of emergency
information.
In the event of an emergency, the
community website page will provide
to you:
• The specifics of the emergency
• Those areas that will/are affected
by the emergency
• Information on how to get
assistance that may be required
• Maps of affected areas
• Agencies that are providing
assistance
• How you can volunteer your time
and expertise during an emergency
How to prepare for an Emergency?
The best way to deal with any
emergency is to be prepared. Citizens
can prepare for an emergency by
developing their own emergency
plan, which would include:
• Design an emergency kit suited to
your family
• Review and practice your plan with
your children
• Ensure you have a current
First Aid Kit
• Educate yourself as to how
Strathmore will communicate an
emergency to you
For more assistance contact the
Emergency Management Coordinator
for the community of Strathmore Fire
Chief Muir Furzer at 403-934-3022.
