In 1889, during the building of the Calgary-Edmonton railway, the charming village of Airdrie was established. Incorporated as a City in 1985, Airdrie, just a short drive north of the City of Calgary, is a scenic bedroom community and industrial centre. Included in Calgary's Census Metropolitan Area and a member of the Calgary Regional Partnership, the City of Airdrie's population has exploded dramatically in recent years, coupled with a super heated economy.

Among Airdrie's amenities are a number of city parks and green spaces including Nose Creek Park. Be sure to visit the Nose Creek Valley Museum and the Model Railroad Site. The Park hosts the lovely Festival of Lights annually each December. Live theatricals are presented throughout the season at the Bert Church Live Theatre. This theatre company also offers summer camp sessions in July for children ages 7 to 14 years. Enjoy the annual Canada Day parade held July 1st and during the summer attend the City sponsored Pro Rodeo Festival.

Airdrie accommodations include a variety of hotels and motels.
