Okotoks (/ˈoʊkətoʊks/, originally /ˈɒkətɒks/) is a town in the Province of Alberta, Canada. It is situated on the Sheep River, approximately 18 km (11 mi) south of the City of Calgary. The town is a member of the Calgary Regional Partnership, a cooperative of municipalities within the Calgary Region. Okotoks has emerged as a bedroom community of Calgary. According to the 2011 Census, the town has a population of 24,511, making it the largest town in Alberta.
The town's name is derived from "ohkotok", the Blackfoot First Nation word for "rock". The name may refer to Big Rock, the largest glacial erratic in the Foothills Erratics Train, situated about 7 km (4.3 mi) west of the town.
Before European settlement, journeying First Nations used the rock as a marker to find the river crossing situated at Okotoks. The tribes were nomadic and often followed large buffalo herds for their sustenance. David Thompson explored the area as early as 1800. Soon trading posts sprang up, including one established in 1874 at the Sheep River crossing on the current Okotoks townsite. This crossing was on a trade route called the Macleod Trail, which led from Fort Benton, Montana to Calgary.
The Town of Okotoks recently put up an advertisement on the C-Train simply saying "There are an number of things to do in Okotoks" and we decided to highlight some of those wonderful things that make our town the best town in Canada!

Caso gioco forza sorpreso di piacere inorridito (ripete)
Molte più cose ben più strabilianti dimorano quaggiù
Sfarzosi paramenti d'antiche cerimonie smesse
Molte più cose ben più sorprendenti vengono in visita imprevedibili
Percorsi incomprensibili tracciano alfine la nostra vita irriducibili
Irriducibili irriducibili
