Welcome

Rosemary is a growing, vibrant, strong family-oriented community.  Located 30 km northwest of the City of Brooks and 25 km east of the Town of Bassano, Rosemary is in the heart of the Eastern Irrigation District.  Almost one-third of the population is made up of young people but there is a strong history of European, American and Japanese settlers.

Rosemary’s pride rests with its newly renovated school and a host of recreation opportunities.  Ball diamonds, tennis courts, track, parks, beach volleyball and recreation centre with ice rink keep this community active.  The village also has a new fire hall. 

Strengths in the oil and gas sector and the agriculture industry are augmented by encouraging locally-supported commercial growth.  Where the grain elevator and railway line used to sit, new homes are being built.  Newcomers to the safe and active community find in-town amenities such as the post office, bakery, garage, furniture store, meat shop, churches and an Alberta Treasury Branch. 

People are the greatest asset of our community and many willingly serve as volunteers to enhance and beautify our village and make it a great place to raise families. The crowning achievement of Rosemary’s appeal to families is its spectacular Canada Day festivities.  From a parade to fireworks, there is something for everyone.  The Canada Day celebration, sponsored annually by the Rosemary Agricultural Society, is known throughout the entire area as the place to be on July 1st. Rosemary is bursting with pride!
