Three Hills takes its name from three prominent hills to the north of town. It sits on Highways 21 and 583 in Kneehill County, 128 km northeast of Calgary, with Trochu about 15 km north and Torrington about 26 km west-northwest. A post office opened in 1904, coal mined in the area supplied mainly the railway until 1949, and in 1912 the town moved to its present site on the rail line. It became a village that year and a town in 1929.

Prairie College held its first class here on October 9, 1922, with eight students. The Kneehill Historical Museum fills six buildings and a set of railcars, and the Cruise Weekend car show has filled early June since 1981, typically drawing more than 8,000 visitors. Three Hills School teaches about 490 students from kindergarten to grade 12, and the nine-hole golf course sits on Three Hills Creek.

Water: The town's own plantThree Hills owns and operates a regional water treatment plant on Red Deer River water, piped 22 km to town. It also supplies Trochu and parts of Kneehill County.
Weather: Trochu Town stationJanuary averages -11.1°C and July 16.9°C, from Environment Canada's 1981 to 2010 climate normals.

What that means for your home

  • January averages -11.1°C at the Trochu Town station, 15 km up the road, more than two degrees colder than Olds. Older furnaces work hard here, so a check before winter is worth it.
  • In a house built before 1981, the furnace and water heater have usually been replaced at least once already. Planning the next replacement beats doing it in an emergency in January.

★★★★★Gavin and Liam were excellent! We had Gavin come out and do a consult for us last winter when we noticed our furnace was acting up and made a plan to replace it. Today they came out and got the new one in place! Efficient and very knowledgeable. Very happy with the service.

★★★★★We needed a thermocouple changed out in our furnace. It being a holiday I wasn't sure what I would be looking at for service or price. The serviceman, Gavin, was here within the hour. He was very professional and he handled our problem quickly and efficiently, and we weren't overcharged for the holiday, like a couple other places insisted on doing. We are 100% fully satisfied and would highly recommend their service to anyone. A1 Customer service.
