Chestermere

Few communities in Alberta have a history as closely tied to irrigation reservoirs as Chestermere. The city grew around Chestermere Lake, a long, narrow reservoir east of Calgary that remains part of the Western Irrigation District’s water system, supplied from the Bow River. Today the lake is central to local life: its public shores and water draw walkers, paddlers and boaters in season, while neighbourhoods extend across the open prairie. Chestermere has developed from a seasonal lakeside settlement into a year-round city, retaining a distinct identity beside metropolitan Calgary.
