Advanced education, healthcare,
art & culture, festivals & music,
creativity, diversity, volunteerism
-- some of
the factors that create a vibrant community
 The
region boasts an extensive range of educational options from
kindergarten to post secondary. Red Deer College, Olds College and
Canadian University College in Lacombe offer a wide range of quality
academic, arts and trades courses.
Primary and secondary education is provided by several school divisions including Red Deer
public, Red Deer Catholic, Chinook's Edge, Wild Rose and Wolf Creek.
 The
David Thompson Health Region covers much of the Red Deer region
supplying health care to all communities through hospitals, health
centres, health units and education.
A wide range of recreational facilities in most communities include ice
rinks, swimming pools, sports fields, a large variety of other indoor
and outdoor recreational facilities, magnificent walking and bicycle
trails, parks including the cherished Waskasoo Park, movie theatres,
community halls, entertainment venues as well as performing and visual
arts facilities.
 Located
within the region are several well-known recreational lakes including
Sylvan, Buffalo, Pine, Glennifer and Gull lakes, golf courses,
campgrounds, ski hills and natural areas. The Rocky Mountains are only
about two hours away.
The city and region boast several annual festivals including Westerner
Days, CentreFest, rodeos and parades. The region is also well known for
community volunteerism through several service clubs, societies,
advocacy groups and organizations.
 A
rich heritage and cultural diversity has resulted in a vibrant,
socially-conscious, generous and entrepreneurial spirit.
The region is generally more prosperous than most due to its prime
location, access to excellent transportation and economic diversity.
