About Airdrie
Airdrie is located just north of Calgary, Alberta with its southern boundary just a few kilometers from Calgary’s northern boundary. It is one of the fastest growing cities in Canada and is projected to continue to grow rapidly due its proximity to Calgary and a large land annexation from nearby Rocky View County in 2012.
Airdrie is a vibrant and caring community rich in urban amenities and opportunities for everyone. With a population approaching 100,000 and an average age under 35 years old, Airdrie is the 5th largest city in Alberta and is predicted to move into the #3 position, after Calgary and Edmonton, within the next few years.
Airdrie is also ideally situated within an easy drive to the Rocky Mountains and the recreational and amenity choices of Calgary as a major urban centre. Residents here enjoy excellent proximity to Calgary International Airport and downtown Calgary.
