Farmers Market vendor processing opens

Event Date:

The Bearspaw Lions Farmers Market has noted that applications for new vendors will be processed after March 15. They have also shared a scam warning about fraudulent requests for vendor fee payments, and that official invoices are expected to be sent out mid-March through mid-April. If you are a vendor or know someone applying, it is a good time to slow down and verify any payment request before sending money.

About Bearspaw, AB

Discover what makes Bearspaw such a great place to live and explore.

Bearspaw is a rural-residential community in Rocky View County, just northwest of Calgary, known for wide-open views and a quiet, spacious feel. Many properties sit on larger parcels near the Bow River and the Bearspaw Dam area, giving the neighbourhood a distinctly outdoorsy, private character. Crisp mornings and bright skies often highlight the foothills backdrop, which is a big part of what draws people here.

Daily life balances country calm with city convenience, with straightforward drives to northwest Calgary amenities as well as Cochrane, and good connections via Highway 1A and the ring road. Residents often spend free time at nearby golf courses, equestrian facilities, and local pathways, while shopping, dining, and services are close in the city. Housing options lean toward estate homes and acreages, with some opportunities on smaller lots and occasional rental suites for those who want more space without feeling far from everything.
