CARSTAIRS
Carstairs is a sophisticated town that has become the choice of many commuters, a getaway beyond a noisy urban life; a safe and friendly place to raise a family. Like most small Alberta towns, an active pool of volunteers is the backbone for a large variety of clubs, groups, and service organizations. You'll enjoy the finely maintained and challenging 18-hole golf course, a brand new Memorial Complex, abundant parks and playgrounds, and the Roulston Museum. Just west of town is a new Silver Willow 9-hole golf course, which is unique in that it also offers Sporting Clays! Carstairs is well-known for producing outstanding athletes, including Olympians Tony Stiles and Rod & Karyn Garossino. Annual events include Beef & Barley Days in July, and the Pumpkin Festival at the end of September.
