Chestermere
Chestermere, originally named Chestermere Lake, is a city in the Canadian province of Alberta, within Rocky View County.

By 1907, a dam and canal system had been built, the wetland developed into a lake, and farmers began using the water for irrigation. Summer village Following the irrigation development, the lake began to be used f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
