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.

Local Success Stories

  • More businesses are discovering what Strathmore offers
    Phyto Organix selected Strathmore for it’s new, state-of-the-art, net zero emission plant protein processing facility. The $225 million investment is estimated to generate over $120 million of annual GDP and employ 80 Albertans. “We have been very impressed with the energy, enthusiasm, and results-based outcomes by the team at the Town of Strathmore.” said Chris Theal, President & CEO, Phyto Organix Foods Inc. adding “The leadership and engagement by the Mayor and CAO have been critical to navigating important economic and sustainability business terms, as well as helping us secure land for our processing facility. The administrative team is committed to timely turnarounds and insightful, business-sense outcomes on key items associated with rezoning, land use, and development and building permit application processes.”
  • Game-changing business deals
    The town has a long tradition for being innovative and solution focused. Its Marigold Library System, established in 1981, was a game-changer. The not-for-profit municipal collaboration provides state-of-the-art library services, now serving over 300,000 people across 44 municipalities. It joined forces with Western Irrigation District (WID), which supplies irrigation water to almost 100,000 acres of farmland, to build a new shared headquarters. It’s a prime example of Strathmore’s strong collaborative spirit.
  • Focus on success and innovation
    Local businesses are expanding their reach. Origin Malting drew on five generations of farming expertise when they launched their malting plant in 2016. 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. Some of the finest people you’ll ever meet … they work right here. We’re much like a family I guess.” Strathmore is well positioned to keep the momentum going.
