Division 3

The County of Two Hills Division 3 is comprised of the areas surrounding the Town of Two Hills and Musidora. Much like the other divisions, agriculture plays a major role on the area. The lush lands provide a hospitable environment for most agriculture projects.

With close proximity to the Town of Two Hills, the residents and visitors to the division have complete access to all ammenities. Several lakes and heavy forested areas make it a great place for nature lovers.

Musidora and Morcambe are part of division 3. These two small hamlets east of Two Hills on Hwy 45 were once major centers that at one time boasted populations of over 100 residents. The CPR rail line passed through the communities in 1927 and served as a catalyst for growth over the next 20 years. Grain elevators, post offices and pool halls were just a few of the businesses that thrived in these agricultural communities. Today the communities have seen their populations decrease and many of the fine structures sit vacant. Musidora's hall and church along with Morecambe's hall are still in use and are host to various dues and events. Today these agricultural centers serve as a reminder of the hard work and dedication that our forefathers exhibited earlier this century.

Musidora recorded a population of 13 in the 1991 Census of Population conducted by Statistics Canada.

Businesses in Division 3:

• GO's Drive-In

• Two Hills Lions Golf & Country Club

• Two Hills Foods

• Two Hills Pharmacy
