What Sections and Local Coverage Can I Find on the Strathmore Times Site?

The Strathmore Times site (strathmoretimes.com) is the online home of a locally owned community newspaper serving Strathmore, Alberta. Its navigation is organized around a small set of news and community sections: News, Local News, Sports, Feature, Full Online Edition, Calendar of Events, Community Groups and Events, and Obituaries, plus a Contact Us page. If you want local headlines, high school and minor sports, obituaries, or a community event calendar for the Strathmore and Wheatland County area, those sections are where to look.

Main news sections

The site's front page leads with a Latest News feed and splits coverage into a few labeled channels:

Recent front-page items illustrate the local scope: a Chamber of Commerce "State of the Region" event bringing business owners and elected officials together, an Eagle Lake Nurseries community story, an update on Valley Medical Clinic doctors preparing to retire, restored water pressure after Westmount water main failures, a report on legal fee reimbursement, and a Wheatland County wastewater plan for Lakes of Muirfield. Sports coverage in the same period included Strathmore Minor Ringette's 2026-27 season, a local barrel racer heading to the Canadian Finals Rodeo, and TECA as a year-round sports and community space.

How the news feed works

Headlines are listed with a posting date and a short excerpt followed by a "Read More" link, so you can scan the latest items and open only what interests you. Dates on the current front page run through October 14, 2026, with older sports items going back to late August and early September — useful to know if you are checking whether a story is recent or archival.

Community calendar and groups

Two separate entry points serve people looking for things to do or organizations to join:

• Calendar of Events — dated listings of local happenings.
• Community Groups and Events — information on local organizations alongside event notices.

These are the sections to check first if you are new to the area, organizing a fundraiser, or looking for a club or service group. Because listings depend on submissions, an event that is not posted may still be happening — the Contact Us details below are the fallback.

Full Online Edition

The Full Online Edition link gives access to the complete digital version of the print paper, with the current issue labeled by date (for example, "October 14, 2026"). This is the best route if you want the paper as it was laid out in print rather than as individual web stories, or if you are searching for an item that did not get a standalone web post.

Obituaries

Obituaries have their own section rather than sitting inside the news feed, which makes them easier to find when you need them. Expect notices for Strathmore and surrounding Wheatland County residents.

Contacting the paper

If you need to submit an event, ask about coverage, or check on a print copy, the site lists:

• Phone: 403.934.5589
• Fax: 403.934.5546
• Email: [email protected]
• Location: 125 2nd Avenue, Strathmore
• Mailing address: P.O. Box 2005, Station Main, Strathmore AB T1P 1K1

The site also notes pickup locations for the printed Strathmore Times, which is the page to check if you want a physical copy rather than reading online.

What to expect — and what not to

This is a community paper, so coverage is hyper-local: municipal council, local business, health services, schools and minor sports, and regional county decisions. It is not a national or international news source, and the site does not present itself as a breaking-news wire. The paper acknowledges financial support from the Government of Canada through the Local Journalism Initiative, which is consistent with its local-public-interest focus.

One practical caveat: the site does not publish subscription or paywall information on the pages reviewed, so do not assume the Full Online Edition is unrestricted — if access matters to you, confirm by phone or email before relying on it.
