Village of Arrowwood

Village of Arrowwood This is the official page for the Village of Arrowwood, AB. Check back often for official updates. The Village was incorporated in 1926.

Local history states the name Arrowwood was taken from the Blackfoot Indian words, "Mistat Katpiskoo", which means Wood Village. This could be possible as the site of the Village is situated on land that was once part of the Blackfoot Reservation. The first post office with the name, Arrowwood, was applied for in 1908 and was situated 8 km south and 3 km west of the present village. Surrounded by

choice farmland, Arrowwood lies between the east and west Arrowwood creeks with the Bow River 5 km north and the Buffalo Hills to the south. Many thousands of acres of good grass and an abundance of good water make this area an ideal spot for ranchers. This beautiful village offers a delicious home style dining restaurant and an amazing library. A local history museum includes construction of the Bow River Irrigation System, Dukabour Settlements, the old General Store, and scrap books of events and residents of the past. The village has a car wash, major bank, full hook-up rv park, cardlock gas station, churches, a school from kindergarten to grade nine, and a brand new Co-op hardware and tire shop. Arrowwood is nestled almost in the middle of three mid size shopping areas. Vulcan, 38 km south west, Strathmore, 38 km north west, and Okotoks, 37 km west. If one needs to do major shopping, Calgary is an hour north west of Arrowwood.

Attention Village Residents & Fellow Dog Owners! 🐾

We want to issue a vital safety alert for everyone who uses our local park and walking path.

Sadly, we’ve recently had reports of dogs getting severely sick after ingesting discarded ma*****na and dropped ADHD medications at the hall park. Because dogs are naturally drawn to the smell of these substances, they can easily find and eat them on walking paths or in the grass.

⚠️ Signs of Toxicity to Watch For:

>Extreme lethargy or inability to stand up
>Uncontrollable wobbling/stumbling (like a drunken walk)
>Dribbling urine or loss of bladder control
>Vomiting or excessive drooling
>Becoming easily startled, shaky, or overly sensitive to sounds

If you suspect your pet has ingested any of these substances, please contact your local veterinarian or your nearest emergency animal hospital immediately.

🙏 A Polite Plea to Our Community:

We kindly ask that everyone be mindful when using the park. Whether you are consuming cannabis or prescription medication, please ensure everything is disposed of securely so that children and our pets can play safely.

Please SHARE this post to help keep our village safe! 🐕❤️
