Airdrie: Brechin City
built 638 days ago
Airdrie United got off to a promising start, cruising past Brechin City in the semi-final by an aggregate score of 6-1. This meant they only had to overcome Stirling Albion in a two-legged decider to ensure survival. Unfortunately the team drew the away leg of the tie 2-2 (having led 2-0 until the final five minutes) and lost the home game 3-2. Thus confirming the newly formed Airdrie's first relegation in their short history.

Airdrie was named after a village southeast of Glasgow Scotland. William McKenzie, a contracting engineer for Calgary and Edmonton Railway, named the village in 1889. The name "Airdrie" means "The King's Height". A unique feature of Airdrie is that its elevation makes it the highest city in Canada.

More and more business owners are choosing to set up shop in Airdrie. With no business tax assessed and the City administration doing its best to take care of business by providing a pro-business environment in the City, it's no surprise. Currently, over 900 businesses provide goods and services to Airdrie and Calgary residents. A healthy industrial economic base is provided with a variety of manufacturing, food processing, waste management, truck transportation, warehousing, oil and gas and agricultural businesses represented. Access to national and international markets is provided by Airdrie's location on the major north-south highway in Alberta and its proximity to the Calgary International Airport and the Trans Canada Highway.

With continued hot weather and little moisture, Airdrie residents are using more water for watering their lawns, gardens and flower beds. This increase in demand is normal, but the City would like to remind residents to use outside water carefully.
