In the spirit of Truth and Reconciliation, the Town of Blackfalds acknowledges that we are on Treaty 6 territory, the ancestral lands of Cree, Saulteaux (So-toe), Blackfoot, Métis, Dene (De-nay) and Nakota Sioux (Sue). We acknowledge all the many First Nations, Métis, Inuit, and non-status peoples whose footsteps have marked these lands since time immemorial. We recognize the inherent relationships Indigenous communities have with this land and its creatures and commit to supporting reconciliation and healing. We honour the resilience, culture, and contributions of Indigenous peoples, past and present. As we gather, we pledge to listen, learn, and take meaningful action toward a future based on mutual respect and understanding as we continue on our journey of truth and healing. We recognize that reconciliation is not a single act but a lifelong journey—one that requires accountability, humility, and the centering of Indigenous voices.

Welcome to Blackfalds!

The Town of Blackfalds is a great place to live and is one of Canada's fastest-growing communities - with 11,415 residents as of 2024 (See complete census results here). 

People make Blackfalds home because of its opportunities and quality of life while maintaining a rural-feeling lifestyle, recreational amenities, affordable housing, and its ideal location central to major centres, as attracting features.

Great things are happening in Blackfalds; community members enjoy the benefits of high-quality services, improved waste management and snow removal programs, on-demand transit, park and trail development, fibre-optic telecommunication, the Abbey Centre - a centrepiece for community gathering, recreation and leisure activities.
