Waterscapes - an integral element at Willow Creek

The water has started flowing at Willow Creek, as Rocky View County is now pumping water from the Bearspaw Hills into the top northeast pond on site. This community will have many beautiful water features for you to enjoy. They are both visually appealing and create ambiance as the water babbles down the creekbeds, gently roling over rocks and winding between home sites. Watch the video and listen ...these could be the soothing sounds in your own backyard!

Road Construction Progress


Metro paving arrived on site at Willow Creek today and most of the roads and cul-de-sacs now have fresh tar. The crew will be laying-down asphalt this afternoon and over the next few days, the roads will not be accessible. The public will still be able to access the Sales & Administration offices via the temporary road (first right turn off Woodland Road).

Construction and the pouring of concrete for the entry divider has also begun at the main road entrance off Woodland Road. (see photo on the right)

The M.D of Rocky View is now "Rocky View County"


As part of a rebranding initative underway by the municipality, Rocky View received formal approval on July 16, 2009 from the Minister of Municipal Affairs to change its name from "Municipal District" to "County". County is a more widely recognized term and Rocky View's administration is hopeful that the name change will be an economic advantage.
“The name change provides significant advantages from both an economic development and corporate rebranding point of view,” explained Reeve Habberfield. “Not only will it help make Rocky View a recognizable household name, but it will raise the municipality’s corporate image and profile and establish it as a good location for real estate development, industry attraction, and major investment. These benefits are a step toward realizing one of Council’s priorities to diversify the tax base.”
For more information regarding the rebranding initiative, residents may contact Jenn Birchall, Communications Manager, at 403-230-1401.
