Nestled more than 40 kilometres to the east of Calgary, Strathmore is a quaint, yet full of life, town in southern Alberta. It began as a train station along the Canadian Pacific Railway back in the year 1883. Today, Strathmore stands as one of the most thriving towns in the province. The town is famous for its strong agricultural background, warmth and hospitality, and the congregate nature of citizens. Strathmore is equipped with several schools, parks, shopping complexes, recreation institutions and other facilities for the residents and guests of the town.
Among the key features of the town is The Strathmore Stampede, a rodeo event that takes place annually in the summer and brings a lot of people to the town explaining the western culture of the region. Since Strathmore is located just a short drive from Calgary, this allows the residents to live in the countryside and still enjoy the benefits of city living without much of a hassle. There are always things to do in Strathmore regardless of whether you love the outdoors, enjoy community activities, or prefer the quiet and calm of the countryside.
