Olds is a town that offers a high quality of life for its residents by providing urban amenities to the close-knit community. The beauty of the region comes from the Rocky Mountains, the breathtaking hills and a wealth of water bodies that encourage activities like hiking, fishing, and even camping. These lovely views of nature combined with community activities conducted throughout the year help to keep the residents’ bonds intact.
The town has a well-set-up educational sector with standard elementary schools and higher institutions. Olds College of Agriculture and Technology is a well-known Canadian institution, which offers a lot of graduate, undergraduate and certificate programs, making it one of the best research colleges in the country.
Strikingly enough for a small town, Olds also has a fairly modern 35-bed general hospital. It offers general surgery, obstetric, long-term and short-term care, and emergency services, and it is complemented by a Primary Care Network servicing the residents as well as the areas beyond Olds.
