About Bassano

Bassano’s vision is to be the most attractive and affordable urban community under 2,500 in Alberta where industry leaders want to invest, where tourists come for a new experience, and where people choose to live, work and play.

We are located on the Trans-Canada Highway 75 minutes east of Calgary and 75 minutes west of Medicine Hat; population 1,216. Our community has an abundance of recreation and leisure opportunities that includes a 9-hole grass green golf course, a 9-hole disc golf course, an outdoor pool, BMX track, library, and a complete arts scene. Did we mention, we are 10 minutes from the Crawling Valley Reservoir? Enjoy year-round activities like boating, kite surfing, fishing, ice fishing, snowmobiling, and camping.

Bassano is proud to be open for business. We welcome investment with a competitive business environment. Local businesses provide services from retail to manufacturing. Take advantage of the employment opportunities and development incentives without the hustle and bustle of the city. Build your dream home, or simply enjoy being part of the community.

We have strong local governance and leadership in Bassano. There is something for everyone in our town whether you need healthcare services, seek education, employment, or a clean affordable place to thrive or retire. You can do it here.

Our motto is to “Beautify, Build, Benefit”
