Stettler is a warm, friendly community in the Heart of Alberta with a low crime rate and a great place to raise a family. Since 2024, seven new family physicians have chosen Stettler, and 14 doctors now practise here. Doctors tell us the welcome made the difference: a dedicated recruitment coordinator helps with housing, schools, churches and settling in, and local doctors, clinics and the hospital mentor new arrivals.

​

Fully serviced residential lots and newer adult-living housing are available. Stettler has K-12 schools with business, fine arts and vocational programs, and post-secondary options through the Big Country Educational Consortium.

​

When you're ready to make the move, we're here to help. Our videos provide a comprehensive overview of what Stettler has to offer. We offer incentives to assist with your transition and help you get established in one of our clinics. Our ambassadors are here to guide and mentor you and your family as you settle into our wonderful town.
