Mission Statement: Millarville Racing and Agricultural Society provides authentic family experiences and exceptional facilities which celebrate our agricultural heritage, inspiring a sense of belonging for community

Only 35 minutes southwest of Calgary, The Millarville Racing & Agricultural Society has played an important role in bringing our local, rural community together for more than a century.
The Millarville Racing & Agricultural Society has been in existence for more than one hundred years, its origins older than the province of Alberta itself.
As the years and generations have come and gone, the social and economic development of both the MRAS and our surrounding community have remained intertwined through a shared history as well as programs and services built from the grassroots out.

Our non-profit Society has flourished and grown through the last century because we have always taken pride in providing programs and facilities for the young people in our community, many of whom have parents, grandparents and great-grandparents who had served faithfully as members and volunteers in earlier eras, setting an example for the next generation to follow.
We rely on more than 600 members and over 400 volunteers to ensure that tradition of giving back to the community preserves our three large historical events, the Races, the Fair and the Heritage Rodeo while the Chuckwagon & Chariot Races, summer Millarville Farmers’ Market and the Millarville Christmas Market in November are also important platforms in preserving our agricultural heritage.

As a Society, we know we have much to do if we hope to remain relevant in our community into the next century, particularly while continuing to embrace the traditions and values of our Founders.

We are looking for volunteer treasurer to serve on the board of directors . We operate as a governance board. We have an in-house bookkeeper – so oversight is key.
