Lougheed has something to offer in all seasons
Incorporated in 1911, the Village was named
after the late Senator James Lougheed, grandfather
to former Premier Peter Lougheed.
“The Friendly Village”, with a population of
almost 300, located along Hwy 13 and on the
Canadian Pacific Railway, is an hour’s drive east
of Camrose, and two hours southeast of
Edmonton.
Lougheed’s trading area has a diversified economic
base, with traditional roots in both
agriculture and the oilfield industry, and has
promise for future growth and prosperity.
Lougheed is home to both commercial and
industrial business, providing products and services
to the community and area, including a
grocery store, banking, Diamond J Bakery, costume
rental, special events rental, machinery
dealerships, agri-retail business, and water well
drilling.
The Lougheed Seed Cleaning Plant has built a
new modernized facility, opening in 2017 and
greatly adding to the northern horizon of the
village.
The Royal Canadian Legion Branch in
Lougheed is named in remembrance of Victoria
Cross recipient, C.J. Kinross . Private Kinross’s
citation shows that “throughout the day he
showed marvelous coolness and courage,
fighting with the utmost aggressiveness against
heavy odds until he was seriously wounded.”
Private Kinross single-handedly knocked out a
machine gun crew.
The Legion Hall’s “Wall of Honour” proudly
displays the framed photos and biographies of
over 60 Veterans from the Lougheed area,
including Victoria Cross recipient C.J. Kinross,
immortalizing those who participated in the
World Wars. The Wall of Honour is a
unique and cherished statement to the
pride of this community and the honour
bestowed for our military residents.
If you are in the area, make sure to stop
in and enjoy the food and warm hospitality.
For residents and visitors alike, the Village
has something to offer in all seasons.
Spring, summer and fall, you will find two
campgrounds and picnic locations, trout
pond, model aircraft field, museum, four
regulation baseball diamonds, a walking
trail and an annual Agricultural Fair held
in August.
During the winter, the “hub of activity” is
at the Lougheed Field House with its
24-hour gym and a variety of ongoing activities
and indoor sports, as well as the curling
rink. Olympic champion, Kevin Martin
started his curling career in Lougheed
throwing rocks many nights after school.
Lougheed has a very active community life,
with ample opportunity to participate in the
Village’s many community service organizations
and social groups. Bingos, socials and other community
events are held in the community hall, as
well as the Seniors’ Centre and Lions’ Den.
The Community Society hosts an old-fashion
Christmas every year. On a Saturday before
Christmas, you can join the fun for a tree
decorating contest, old fashioned games,
exhibits, Mrs. Claus has a kitchen with
goodies and, of course, Santa Claus makes
an appearance to present the children with
goodies.
Within the last few years, Lougheed has
become home to the largest population of
‘Mexican Mennonites’ within the Flagstaff
region. To accommodate this population as
they deal with their new Canadian home,
the citizens of Lougheed have initiated
events and enterprises to ensure a smooth
transition to their new chosen home.
Lougheed, “The Friendly Village”, has
room to grow, with both residential and
commercial lots available for development.

Solution to your hearing concerns
Two years ago Maxine started out
on a grand adventure moving out of
Calgary to Three Hills and opening
her first hearing aid office.
It’s been an incredible journey that
just keeps getting better with the
opening of her second office in
Hanna.
She is splitting her time between
the two offices with Monday,
Tuesday and Wednesdays in Three
Hills and Thursday and Fridays in
Hanna.
Maxine began her career in
the pace of an ever growing city a bit
overwhelming and longed to slow
things done, which brought her to
Three Hills.
After numerous requests for her to
branch out and open another office in
Hanna, she was able to realize that
goal in June of this year.
Although the original opening date
was pushed back due to Covid, once
she was able to open she was
delighted by the response and warm
welcome she received by everyone in
the community.
Maximum Hearing is a privately
owned and operated hearing clinic in
Three Hills and Hanna, Alberta.
We provide hearing services in a
relaxed, friendly environment.
