Doing Business in Fort Macleod

Message from the Mayor

This is the Town of Fort Macleod - a community poised for growth, rooted in history, and positioned to take advantage of the emerging economy.

As the mayor of Fort Macleod I take great pleasure in introducing you to our wonderful community. Fort Macleod is strategically located to benefit from the overflow of the explosive growth of Calgary and Lethbridge.

The Alberta Report identified southwestern Alberta as having the most undervalued properties in the province. Our Town was also listed in the "Townsearch Guide - Canada" as one of the best small communities in Canada to live.

The liveability of the town is unmatched, from our temperate climate, recreational opportunities and friendly people to our high calibre health care and education.

Fort Macleod's deep history and pride is apparent in our historic Empress Theatre and Main Street, the Fort Museum of the North West Mounted Police, the 1884 NWMP Barracks Site, and the oldest golf course in Western Canada.

We also have hockey and curling rinks, the River Valley Wilderness Park, the Oldman River, the new Agriplex, and the majestic Rocky Mountains just to the west.

Our town is blessed with a significant amount of land available for development. This includes 60 acres of fully serviced, light-industrial land available for expansion and growth.

This website is filled with information on why Fort Macleod is a great place to live, work and invest. I invite you to come and see these advantages first hand and have a close look at our community.
