Community pride is the hallmark of an expanding small town working to improve its quality of life

 
Blackfalds is a town with great community spirit whose workers enjoy opportunities in the city of Red Deer, petrochemical plants to the east and businesses locally. Expansion of the industrial and residential base is currently under way. Blackfalds will soon be the new home to the regional rural RCMP.
