Ensuring the future of Saddle Hills County and its residents has been one of Council’s goals for many years. From things like ensuring the long-term viability of our roads and infrastructure to the success of our youth and, most recently, finding new solutions to rural healthcare and internet access, providing reliable long-term solutions to access important resources like water is just another way Saddle Hills County, with the help of our G5 neighbours, is hoping to support the ongoing economic growth and sustainability of the Peace Region community. 

Saddle Hills County is pleased to announce that the greatly anticipated Saddle Hills County Health Clinic will be opening on June 17, 2024. Join us for a 'Meet and Greet' with Nurse Practitioner Palvi Sharma from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Congratulations to our new Community Peace Officer, Wayne Olson, who will be commencing his official duties today, April 12, 2024.
