Lift Truck Chain Strathmore

Lift Truck Chain Strathmore - Strathmore is a town situated along the Trans-Canada Highway in southern Alberta, Canada, 40 kilometres or 25 miles east of the city of Calgary, within the boundaries of Wheatland County.

The town began as a hamlet for the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) lines that were constructed within the area during 1883. The CPR named the town of Strathmore after one of its benefactors: Claude Bowes-Lyon, the Earl of Strathmore. A track laying record was made between the town of Strathmore and Cheadle when the railroad was built. Within one hour, one mile (1.6 km) of steel was laid and the rails were laid to Cheadle, 9 miles (14 km) for a record. Efforts by the Canadian government to develop western Canada caused increases in Strathmore's population and its importance as a rail supply stop.

These days, the town is an essential agricultural community. Gas and oil exploration is likewise a growing interest in the area. It is the headquarters of the Golden Hills School Division. Many travel daily from Strathmore to Calgary. During the past three years the town has seen a main growth in commercial development.

The Town of Strathmore has an estimated population of 12,139 residents, according to the latest 2010 municipal census. This represents an increase of 2.5% over the 2009 municipal census population of 11,838. At its current population, Strathmore is among the largest towns in the province and is qualified for city status. Based on the Municipal Government Act of Alberta, a town is qualified for city status when it reaches 10,000 residents.

The town has hosted a yearly fair and "Heritage Days" Rodeo ever since 1966, on the long weekend in the month of August. The Heritage Days Rodeo turned professional during the year 1985, becoming a Canadian Professional Rodeo Association sanctioned event. In conjunction to hosting Pro Rodeo that weekend, 1988 saw the addition of the World Professional Chuckwagon Association Finals come to our grounds.

In the 1990's, there was a concerted effort to focus on a change of image to the weekend event. The event started to incorporate a more family theme, incorporating local entertainment stage, children's entertainment, livestock show, craft/bench show, machinery show, outdoor family entertainment show ring, parade, trade show, midway and fireworks. The hosting of these events annually each long weekend of August created a major tourist spot to the Town of Strathmore and neighboring areas as indicated by its growing attendance.
