Rosebud community welcomes you!

Rosebud as the Cultural Heart of the Canadian Badlands. 

Join a community of community building skills and varied interests. Together we create safe place for our citizens and guests that is creative and resilient. We are committed to be a welcoming place for all.

Explore a valley full of stories and longings: of nomadic people that lived here since the last Great Ice Age, of vast migrations of settlers who came to start new lives, of ranchers/cowboys who braved the weather and loneliness to husband vast herds of livestock, of the last great open-range cattle round-up, of building a farming community by shear persistence, of rural survival in the face of overwhelming international urbanization.  Rosebud’s depth of cultural history is a national treasure.

We have attracted writers, composers, artists, families and international friends. During all seasons it is open for new visitors who journey to become better acquainted with the stories and the people.

Today Rosebud’s heart is the people who tell these stories, at home or on the world’s stages networking with other creative people. It is the farmers whose productivity feeds a hungry world. Come, celebrate with us in festivals and country living.

We invite you to hear our stories, see Rosebud’s beauty and share in community values. Be a citizen for a day, or a lifetime. Come away for a little while from the stress of urban pressures. Let us become part of your story, and you part of ours.  Come as a student to study here. Bring your children, who with wide-eyed wonder will travel to times only imagined. Spend hours floating down our lazy river, exploring the valley or visiting our rural attractions. Why visit any other place when we long to have you here?

Consider raising your family, building your business, or launching your career here!

In the spirit of reconciliation, we acknowledge that we live, work and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Îyâxe Nakoda Nations, the Métis Nation (Region 3), and all people who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
