Living in Bearspaw
For people who prefer a more rural way of life, Bearspaw has an excellent combination of acreage living, environmental perks, and useful services. Unlike other towns we build in, like Carstairs or Airdrie, this community is less centralized, with a greater focus on the lifestyle and setting. There is just one school for grades K-8, the Bearspaw School, and then Cochrane High School for students in grades 9-12.
Residents who work in or go to the city often will find easy access to the northern neighborhoods on Crowchild Trail, Rocky Ridge Road, Sarcee Trail, Symons Valley Road, and several other paved connectors, as well as Tuscany C-Train station. These connect with other main routes like Stoney Trail and Country Hills Blvd., meaning it’s easy to get anywhere in the city that you need to go within a short drive. You won’t have to go that far to find great amenities. The stores, restaurants, and services of the city are just a few minutes from home if you need them.
Around Bearspaw, there’s plenty to do for everyone, too:

Bearspaw has a full-time fire station at the intersection of Highway 1A and Lochend Road, and ground ambulances through Alberta Health Services. However, because the area is unincorporated, utilities like water, electricity, and waste management vary depending on the site. Most water service is through local co-ops or by well, for example, and you will be able to choose a power provider. Gas service will likely be through Cochrane Lakes Gas Co-op.More information about utilities can be found on the Rocky View County website.
