ABOUT AIRDRIE We’ve often heard there is something about Airdrie, that only the people from Airdrie can understand, that which makes the city a great place to visit. A stop at the Nose Creek Valley Museum might hint toward our history, where early settlers founded a stopping point for the stream trains to take on a drink of the fresh Nose Creek waters, or a historic connection to our sister city in Scotland might depict a kings naming over Airdries’ high elevations. Whether you perceive it as a ‘small town feel’ or ‘small city attitude’; Airdrie is filled with rustic charm and authentic appeal, farm fresh experiences, innovative technologies, urban design, neighbourly sentiment and family focused events that draws visitors in. For the city slicker, Airdrie often refers to its pioneer spirit; the sense of opportunity, entreprenuerism, building a strong and prosperous future. Airdrie is a young and dynamic city, thriving in economic opportunity and bundled with every day amenities, where modern influence meets the spirit of the past The City of Airdrie, with a population of 70,594, is located 10 minutes north of Calgary. That’s only a quick 20min drive from the Calgary International Airport, offering a wide range of accommodations, dining establishments, attractions and experiences with both a small town feel and big city amenities.
