Redwood Meadows is a townsite in Alberta, Canada—the only such entity recognized by Alberta Municipal Affairs as of August 2020.[3]
Redwood Meadows is unique in that it is partially independent, functioning similar to an incorporated Alberta town. It is different from all other Alberta towns due to:
- its location within the Tsuut'ina 145 Indian reserve;
- the leased nature of the land on which it is developed.
- being administered by an elected council under a stewardship agreement with the Tsuut’ina Nation.
The Townsite of Redwood Meadows is located along Highway 22, approximately 20 km west of Calgary, 18 km south of Cochrane and 5 km northeast of Bragg Creek. It has an elevation of 1,250 metres (4,100 ft) and is approximately 400 acres (1.6 km2) in size (1.62 km2 or 0.6 sq mi).
Redwood Meadows is located in census division No. 6 and in the federal riding of Foothills.
