Red Deer & Area

Get to know Red Deer. Red Deer is a safe and vibrant city of 90,000 people located smack in the middle of Alberta’s two largest cities - Calgary and Edmonton.

You’ll be far enough away from your parents to ditch the curfew, but close enough to make it home for Sunday dinners (and do your laundry at the same time!).

If you’re an active type, you can take advantage of the Canyon Ski Area, hiking and biking trails of Waskasoo Park, an indoor running track at Collicutt Centre, 13 golf courses, swimming pools, skating rinks, shopping centres, three movie theatres and nearly 170 restaurants.

If you prefer to watch sports, there is always the title-winning RDC Kings and Queens, or Red Deer’s own Rebels ... or, you're up for a road trip, you can watch the Flames, Hitmen, Stampeders and Roughnecks in Calgary ... or the Oilers, Oil Kings, Eskimos and Rush in Edmonton.

As Canada’s new economic capital, Red Deer also offers fantastic employment opportunities – many just steps from campus. For information on employment opportunities, visit our employment webpage.
