Chestermere Community Overview
The town of Chestermere is part of the Municipal District of Rocky View in the province of Alberta, Canada. It is located just east of Calgary. It is a bedroom community of Calgary and is a member community of the Calgary Regional Partnership. The town surrounds Chestermere Lake on three sides.
Chestermere's history begins with the construction of the headworks of an irrigation water supply which formed Chestermere Lake. Eventually, residents were attracted to the area for its recreation opportunities and close proximity to Calgary. The Summer Village of Chestermere Lake was incorporated on April 1, 1977.
On March 1, 1993, Chestermere was incorporated as a town although its present population actually renders it larger than some Albertan cities.
Chestermere is located 18 kilometers (11 mi) east of the City of Calgary's downtown core via Highway 1A. Chestermere's primary attraction is the 2.65 square kilometers (1 sq mi) lake and an 18 hole golf course.
Chestermere Lake offers all residents and visitors summer and winter activity. It provides day use parks for launching boats, and family areas for the enjoyment of the outdoors.
The public schools in the town are Chestermere High School,[6] Chestermere Lake Middle School, and Prairie Waters Elementary School. Public schools in the town are run by the Rocky View School Division, which includes several other communities surrounding Calgary.
For publicly funded Catholic education, the town falls within the jurisdiction of the Calgary Catholic School District, which runs the St. Gabriel The Archangel school for grades K-12.
Most educational needs beyond this (e.g. post-secondary education) are met within Calgary.
Although Chestermere is considered a separate town in its own right, its proximity to Calgary has led to occasional questions regarding possible annexation as Calgary grows. In July 2007, the City of Calgary annexed an extensive tract of land from the Municipal District of Rocky View. This annexation places the current eastern city limits of Calgary about a mile from the western outskirts of Chestermere.[7] In March 2007, the Town of Chestermere published a Growth Study that proposes annexation of, among other areas, the intervening land between Chestermere and the newly expanded Calgary boundaries, which would place the town immediately adjacent to the city.
