There is much to learn when you and your family first arrive in Chestermere. We assist with your immediate needs for housing, schools, health care and more.
Throughout the year, we provide workshops and information sessions to give you more knowledge about how to make Chestermere your home. Our workshops cover a wide range of topics from driving in Alberta, to filing income tax, to learning about community events and discovering the many things you can do with your family.
