Minutes from Downtown Calgary
Over 7,500 people call this prairie town home. Many residents of this bedroom community work in Calgary, which is about 25 minutes (40 kms) west on the Trans-Canada Highway.
History
The arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) in 1883 was instrumental in bringing settlers to the area. The CPR had built an irrigation system by 1905 which served to attract more farmers and settlers to the area.
Small Town. Big Impression
Strathmore provides a variety of big city amenities. Among them is the family centre which has a twin-ice arena with seating for 700, and a convention room with seating for 250. There's also a community centre with a library, a seniors drop-in centre, outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts and a four-sheet curling rink. And the Strathmore Golf Club is among the nicest in Alberta.
