Our Rural Community.

Welcome to Fairlie. Our special community has become so much more than just the gateway to the Mackenzie - we are a destination in our own right to live, create, and explore. Anchored in agricultural roots, our locals have been coming up with quaint businesses with a creative local edge that contribute to the uniqueness of our town.

We are proud that our Resource Centre plays a pivotal role in facilitating and connecting our locals and supporting our visitors.
