ABOUT: Click to Learn what Eaglesham is all about

Welcome to Eaglesham. We are an agricultural community that holds fast to the things of life that matter most. Here everyone has a name and with that everyone's invited to have a place at the table. It's a place that if you show up, you will be connected.

Our school boasts small class sizes and a family feel. Our community seeks to hold on to the values and work ethic of the generations that have gone before us. Here technology is a tool and not a way of life. We desire to raise our kids on the land and not on a screen.

Our youth here are valued and as a community, we contend to instil within them resiliency and a robust appreciation and love for life. We have a thriving 4-H club with a focus on adventure that gives our kids eyes to see all that our community and county has to offer. Our local faith community also provides many meaningful opportunities for our youth to gather .

The West Smokey Recreation Centre is just across our school parking lot. In many ways it is the hub of our community. Year round you will find activity here. Through the winter months there is recreational hockey, skating lessons and pond hockey. Throughout the year there is access to a well-equipped weight room as well as pickle ball courts. Affordable access and a welcoming atmosphere makes the arena a place we all hold dear.

For the outdoor enthusiasts our county is teeming with adventure. Wilderness abounds. Rivers run. The northern lights dance. With ample access to crown land there is lots of opportunity for 4x4ing, hiking, fishing, hunting, and foraging.The county boasts many unique opportunities that you will not find on a map. Our locals will eagerly help you access all that our county has to offer.

Close to Eaglesham there is a beautiful golf course that attracts golfers and campers from around the Peace Country. Within "city limits" you will find a public library, bank, volunteer fire hall, two churches, a post office, as well as the local restaurant/bar/motel. Within reach of our community there are outdoor swimming pools in neighbouring towns. An hour's trek will also get you to several family-friendly ski hills.

So if you are looking for room to breathe, a place to put down roots, or maybe even a place to grow a garden and a family: we would love to meet with you. If what you've read here speaks to you, please come and meet with us. As is the nature of Eaglesham there is far more here than what meets the eye. We would love to have the opportunity to show you that there are sustainable ways to access all that you need out here. A Google search will fail to tell you all that is out here, but the resourceful members of our community certainly will!

Come and experience the goodness of our community. We hope to meet with you soon.
