| Two
communities are getting attention as bedroom communities south of
Calgary, both accessible by Macleod Trail, which turns into Highway 2
South. Okotoks, an 8,000 population town just 23 kilometres south of the
city (actually on Highway 2A), is known for the big rock left behind by
the glaciers. High River, with 7,000 residents, is 48 kilometres south
of Calgary.

Highway 2.

Okotoks is a demographically young town: 83 per cent of the town is
under 45 years of age, with 30 per cent under the age of 19. Okotoks is
built around the Sheep River, has the pretty Sheep River Park along the
south shore of the river, and also Wylie Park on the north side of town.
Horse races and Rodeo are held at Pacer Park on the western outskirts.
Okotoks also has a Wilderness Campground and Camp Okotoks on the eastern
side of town. The town also has a small airport for
private aircraft, and those learning to fly.

|
| Builders: |
Okotoks has three single-family developments underway: Cimarron on the
town's south side, Sheep River Ridge in the southwest, and Crystalaire
in the northeast.
High River provides a leisurely lifestyle, appropriate to its location
in the middle of ranching country. Its new home activity is centered
around the 27-hole Highwood Golf and Country Club: High Glen Place, Polo
Park and Mountainview Estates.
