Calmar COMMUNITY

CALMAR COMMUNITY

The Calmar Ag society gives backs to our great community through many different platforms! Our board members volunteer their time with hosting curling programs for schools, teaching kids curling fundamentals and share in the fun of curling. We also raise money through our grow opp located at the CO-OP agro site just east of Calmar. The CO-OP has donated to us 70 acres to which our board of directors donate time and equipment to grow a crop every year. This is donated back to the community. Here are some of our highlights over the last few years!

market on main (calmar farmers market)

Market on Main was initiated in 2021, by the Town of Calmar and the Community Vitalization Plan, as a way to create a social event, animate downtown, and provide a pathway for small business growth. With the help of the Town of Calmar and the Calmar Agricultural Society, we are now a part of the Alberta Farmers Market Association. With an estimated 3500 attendees last season and a growing vendor list, Market on Main continues to be a success.
