HarvestFest at Chinook Gate

The exciting, young community of Chinook Gate in Airdrie celebrated its latest phase with the opening of new laned and front-drive garage showhomes from Brookfield Residential, Excel Homes and McKee Homes.
It was a fun-filled fall day with horse-drawn wagon rides, food trucks and more that showcases the family-friendly lifestyle of this rapidly growing community.

“HarvestFest was just a great way to bring the community together, and give everyone a chance to see all the exciting new showhomes in the community,” says Brookfield Residential’s Mary Aucoin.

Launched in 2018, Chinook Gate has become one of the most popular new communities in Airdrie that’s famous for the four-season fun it offers. The 113-acre community on the southwest side of Airdrie boasts 11 acres of greenspace, a school, and proximity to Chinook Winds Park. “We are now down to our last couple of phases with limited opportunities to live in this established community in Airdrie,” Aucoin adds.
