Balzac

Balzac combines a small hamlet’s rural identity with the fast-moving commercial character of the Calgary region, reflecting its position on Alberta’s open prairie north of the city. In Rocky View County, cultivated fields and transport routes extend across the plains east of the Canadian Rockies. CrossIron Mills, a major outlet shopping centre, stands nearby and has made Balzac a familiar stop along the Queen Elizabeth II Highway corridor. The community was named for the French novelist Honoré de Balzac, while agriculture continues to shape its wider setting.
