Community Powered ... WID Supported

The Western Irrigation District (WID) is proud to be more than just a water provider — we are an active member, partner, and supporter of the communities we serve. Through sponsorships, strategic partnerships, and ongoing engagement, WID invests in local initiatives that strengthen our rural roots and foster a vibrant future.

We proudly support community events, youth programs, and local organizations that reflect the values of stewardship, resilience, and collaboration. As a community partner, WID believes in building lasting relationships that contribute to the well-being and sustainability of the region.

Whether it’s sponsoring local rodeos, supporting youth sports, or helping with environmental stewardship initiatives, our commitment goes beyond infrastructure — it’s about people, pride, and partnership.

We are proud to support the next generation of rodeo athletes through a monetary sponsorship of the 2025 Strathmore High School Rodeo. This event brings together young competitors from across Alberta to showcase their skills, sportsmanship, and passion for western heritage.

Our sponsorship helps cover essential costs such as arena rentals, livestock care, safety measures, and event operations—ensuring a professional and memorable experience for all participants. By investing in youth rodeo, we’re contributing to the growth of agriculture, rural leadership, and community pride in Strathmore and beyond.

This partnership reflects our commitment to local youth, education, and preserving the traditions that make rodeo an integral part of our culture.

We’re proud to be a business sponsor of the 2025 Strathmore Stampede, one of Canada’s largest and most celebrated rodeo events. Our sponsorship supports three key attractions that reflect the spirit of community, tradition, and family fun:

  • Heritage Concert Stage – Showcasing live music and entertainment that celebrates our western roots and brings people together through the power of performance.

  • Kids Wild Pony Races – A crowd favorite that gives young rodeo enthusiasts a chance to shine in a fun, fast-paced event full of energy and excitement.

  • Harrow Hitch – A traditional and essential part of the rodeo experience, demonstrating horsemanship and the behind-the-scenes teamwork that keeps the arena safe and ready for action.

This sponsorship reflects our commitment to preserving western heritage, supporting youth and families, and enriching the cultural fabric of our community. We’re honored to play a part in making this iconic event a success.

We are proud to support the annual Chestermere Mayor’s Charity Golf Tournament as a Sponsor, along with an additional donation to further benefit local causes. This annual tournament brings together community leaders, businesses, and residents for a day of golf, connection, and charitable giving.

Our sponsorship helps fund vital programs and services that directly support individuals and families in the Chestermere area. Through this contribution, we’re investing in the well-being and future of our community—ensuring that resources reach those who need them most.

It’s an honour to be part of an event that combines sport, spirit, and meaningful impact. Together, we’re driving positive change, one swing at a time.

WID is proud to partner with Ducks Unlimited Canada in a shared commitment to water stewardship, wetland conservation, and sustainable land use. This partnership brings together local knowledge and conservation expertise to protect natural habitats while supporting the needs of agriculture and irrigation.

By working collaboratively, WID and Ducks Unlimited enhance biodiversity, improve water quality, and preserve essential ecosystems that benefit both wildlife and the wider community. Through projects such as wetland restoration, habitat enhancement, and integrated water management, this partnership reflects our mutual dedication to responsible environmental stewardship and a thriving rural landscape.

Together, we’re ensuring a healthy balance between productive land and protected nature — for today and for generations to come.
