Atmore, Alberta

Want more-discover life in Atmore.  Located on the shores of Charron Lake a small but dynamic hamlet.  A great place to live for those who enjoy the great outdoors.  But for those who like their convenience close we boast of our general store with postal service and liquor store.   We have a church to marry you in and a community hall for the dance..  Another great thing about our town we are a short bus ride to Grassland School.   We also have several home based businesses near by town to help make life easier. Every year on the first Saturday in May we host a Heart Fund Ride.  It’s a great cause and loads of fun to participate in.  Please, drop by and join us for this great horseback ride. 

Prosvita, Alberta

Although we have only a community hall and church we have a claim to Fame!  We host the greatest slow-pitch tournament every June.   It features great ball and a lot of fun.  We plan to stick around for a while longer having celebrated our 50^th anniversary in 1997.  We are now easier to find than any time in our history, thanks to our neighbor Alberta Pacific Pulp Mill.  Come see us in June and play ball!
