About the town:
High River is a town in southwestern Alberta, Canada with a population of 10,716. (2006). It is 37 kilometres (23 mi) south of the city of Calgary, at the junction of Alberta Highways 2 and 23. Although reasonably distant from Calgary, the town is nonetheless considered to be part of the Calgary Region. The community gets its name from the Highwood River, which flows through the town, and often floods in the spring.- Source: Wikipedia: High River, Alberta.
