| It's Time to Walk ... for the Health of It! |
 In Carstairs, we are lucky to have an indoor walking track at the Carstairs Arena. This provides residents with a rubber track to walk on year round. Plan to join in this year's "Walk for the Health of it Challenge" from November 1st to April 1st, when we walk to Cozumel, Mexico ... a total of 8,346 kms! We'll stop for a margarita then we’ll turn around and walk back home again! You can watch everyone's progress right here on the Town's website! For more information, visit the Community Services page. |
| 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! Welcome to Carstairs! |
