Strategic Location
Strathmore is a beautiful community located 35 traffic-free minutes from east Calgary in a thriving trade zone that encompasses businesses from all around southern Alberta. With an estimated trade market of over 35,000 people and Calgary so close, we provide a valuable link to a larger market. At the same time, we retain the small-town lifestyle which employees are looking for. Situated in one of Canada’s sunniest regions, Strathmore is located along the Trans-Canada Highway with quick access to other major transportation arteries, such as Highway 817, Highway 2, and Stoney Trail. The Calgary International Airport is a 45-minute drive away while the city centre is approximately the same driving time. Being next to big farming represents great opportunities to capitalize Agri-Business, the food and beverage industry, tourism products and services, as well as any value-added business catering to agriculture.

As pioneers of soil conservation and traceability, they brought a focus on sustainability to their operations. Producing the finest malt for craft brewers has brought customers from across North America. An unexpected start-up has its origins in a local farm as well. G&S Airport Conveyor, which builds and maintains baggage conveyor systems for airports around the world, started out of a garage on an area farm. Since moving into Strathmore, the company has grown and invested in newer, more advanced technology. Owner Jim Goertz appreciates how business-friendly Strathmore is. He also likes the inviting small-town feel, something that makes it easy to attract and retain employees. It’s a desirable place to work and to live in. “We have great people that work hard here.
