 About our Community
Carstairs is located in south-central Alberta, just off the Calgary-Edmonton corridor, and features quieter town living at its best. Our friendly, community minded town has become the choice of many commuters, a getaway beyond a noisy urban life; a safe and friendly place to raise a family. Carstairs is a growing community and like most small Alberta towns, has an active pool of volunteers. Carstairs boasts a variety of clubs, groups, and service organizations.

We are home to a finely maintained and challenging 18-hole golf course, Memorial Sports Complex, abundant parks and playgrounds, 28 treed site Campground, and Grain Elevator Tourist Information Centre. Just west of town is the beautiful Silver Willow 9-hole golf course. 2009 brings the construction of the New Library/e-Learning Centre partnering with Olds College, and the new K-4 school!
