Turner Valley is a picturesque community nestled in the foothills of the majestic Canadian Rocky Mountains only 35 minutes from Calgary and on the edge of Kananaskis Country. Turner Valley is the birthplace of Alberta's oil and gas industry, the site of the 1914 Dingman #1 well that began Calgary's first oil boom. Turner Valley boasts a remarkable history as not only the first major oilfield in Alberta but at one time the largest oil producer in the British Empire. Along with its quaint shops, artisan studios and breathtaking scenery, tourism is a major economic force in Turner Valley along with its growing artisan population who have been attracted to move to the area to enjoy the magnificent scenery and breathe the fresh mountain air.
Turner Valley is a great place to live - close enough to commute to Calgary but far enough away to enjoy a less stressful environment. The combination of affordable housing, quality medical care, educational, recreational and retail facilities and wide open spaces makes Turner Valley an ideal location to raise a family or retire to.
Our Municipal building, situated at 223 Main Street NE, is located in the heart of the business community.
