WELCOME TO DRUMHELLER! 

In the heart of the Canadian Badlands, the Drumheller Valley offers spectacular unique scenery and fascinating experiences. Within easy driving distance of Banff, Calgary, and Red Deer; Drumheller offers a world of startling contrasts as rolling fields suddenly give way to steep, dry coulees ridged with the strata of hundreds of years of erosion by time, wind and water. Through it all, the tranquil Red Deer River gently makes its way through our valley. 


Drumheller also offers prospective investors a centralized location with city class services and infrastructure as well as competitive tax rates, bespoke incentive programs, reasonably priced land and a skilled and available workforce.  

There is nowhere quite like the Drumheller Valley, and we want you to be a part of our story.
