Beaumont has a lot to offer its residents. As the ninth fastest-growing community in Alberta, more people are falling for its unique charm and are choosing to call it “home.” Here are 5 reasons why we love Beaumont.
1. Small City Living
Beaumont has an undeniable small-town feel, with a population of just over 21,000. This is a community where everybody still knows their neighbours. Furthermore, the low crime rates make Beaumont a safe place to live.
2. Big City Conveniences
Though small in size, Beaumont’s amenities rival that of big cities. Beaumont boasts good schools for its young population and year-round recreational opportunities in top-notch facilities such as the Ken Nichols Regional Recreation Centre and the Aquafit Centre. For those looking to spend time outside under the big prairie skies, Beaumont offers over 28 kilometres of urban trails.
3. The Ideal Place to Raise a Family
Beaumont has a young population, with more residents under the age of 14 than over the age of 60. This youthful population contributes to the community’s vibrant nature, and its recreational opportunities provide a great environment for children to learn and grow.
4. A Place Where French Heritage is Celebrated
Beaumont started as a small French colony in 1895, and it has stayed true to its roots. One of four officially bilingual communities in Alberta, Beaumont is proud to celebrate its French heritage through bilingual street names, French design architecture, French Immersion at every school, as well as a Francophone school.
5. Never a Dull Moment
Beaumont hosts a variety of annual events throughout the year, meaning a new adventure is never far from home. In addition, the Beaumont Blues & Roots Festival, Canada’s longest running 100% Canadian Content festival, has been providing Beaumont with music for all ages since it began in 2008.
