The Town of Carstairs has recently grown from a one doctor town to a community with 3 medical practices, including a pediatrician and a dermatologist.

Mayor Lance Colby was excited to share that the Snowy Owl Medical Clinic has recently opened up with a new doctor being added to the team.

"Dr. From brought his practice from Didsbury down to open up his clinic here, and he's a pediatrician. With our growth, especially with young families it's going to be a big asset to our community."

Mayor Colby said that a doctor from Montreal (Dr. Michelle Milne) will also be joining the ranks of new doctors at the end of this year.

Another major medical facility will be opening up soon, meeting the needs of individuals with respiratory issues.

"The respiratory clinic, Peak Pulmonary Respiratory Clinic, they're looking at coming here to Carstairs in the very near future. They've already leased the space and it's in the same medical building as our big clinic is."

Mayor Colby is very proud of the growth of the town and the interest it has created.

"It's been a long time coming, and we're really proud of the fact that these doctors are coming into our community."
