Three Hills is a town located in the southern part of the province of Alberta, Canada. It is so named because of the three highly visible hills that are situated to its north.
Three Hills was incorporated as a village in 1912, the year it was moved to its current location on the Canadian Northern Railway. With ranchers and farmers constituting its first residents, it soon became a centre for the surrounding wheat-growing area.
In 1922, the Prairie Bible Institute was established in Three Hills with L.E. Maxwell as its founding principal. This occurrence helped to increase the population of the town proper and its adjacent settlements. By the mid 1980s the nearby hamlets of Grantville and Ruarkville and the spacious 130-acre (0.53 km2) Bible College campus were annexed to the town.
Although a relatively small community, Three Hills had the distinction of hosting the Alberta Seniors Games in the summer of 1998. The town was chosen to host this event because of its ability to utilize large and well equipped facilities at the college. This included the opening and closing ceremonies which took place in the 4,300 seat Maxwell Memorial Tabernacle, located on the Bible College campus.
Alberta /ælˈbɜrtə/ is a province of Canada. It had a population of 3,645,257 in 2011, making it the most populous of Canada's three prairie provinces. Alberta and its neighbour, Saskatchewan, were established as provinces on September 1, 1905.
Alberta is located in western Canada, bounded by the provinces of British Columbia to the west and Saskatchewan to the east, the Northwest Territories to the north, and the US state of Montana to the south. Alberta is one of three Canadian provinces and territories to border only a single U.S. state and is also one of only two provinces that are landlocked.
Edmonton, the capital city of Alberta, is located near the geographic centre of the province and is the primary supply and service hub for Canada's oil sands and other northern resource industries. Approximately 300 kilometres (190 mi) south of the capital is Calgary, Alberta's largest city and a major distribution and transportation hub. Calgary and Edmonton centre Alberta's two census metropolitan areas, both of which have populations exceeding 1 million.Census agglomerations in the province include Lethbridge, Red Deer, Medicine Hat, Wood Buffalo (includes Fort McMurray), Grande Prairie, Lloydminster, Okotoks, Brooks, Camrose, Cold Lake, High River, Sylvan Lake, Wetaskiwin, Strathmore, Canmore, and Lacombe.

I know a place
There are three hills
Ever since I live
They're watching me
They're watching you
And they always admonish
They were there
In a time long ago
Still they stand up there
They have seen
All the trouble which we know
But the wheel of life
Is still there
If you feel depressed and down
Come to these hills
And open up your mind
Think about how old they are
Feel, all your trouble has gone so far
Soon your problems will go away
You'll feel better every day
Chorus:
If you don't know what to do
A solution is there for me and you
Come to the three hills
They got power, they got might
They stand there through day and night
Use these three hills
Now you are here
Look at these hills
See how tall they are
You're so small
Beneath these hills
No matter who you are
You can be a beggar
Or a king
In front of them
You're just a man
There is nothing
You can loose or you can win
You just can see we are all the same
If you feel depressed and down
Come to these hills
And open up your mind
Repeat chorus
You are asking me
Where are these hills
I will tell you my frien
They're in your heart
And in your mind
They're with you until the end
They are just
A synonym for your might
The might which is inside of you
You just have to
look inside of you
Find these hills
And you'll learn to use
I know a place
There are three hills
Ever since I live
They're watching me
They're watching you
And they always admonish
They were there
In a time long ago
Still they stand up there
They have seen
All the trouble which we know
But the wheel of life
Is still there
If you feel depressed and down
Come to these hills
And open up your mind
Think about how old they are
Feel, all your trouble has gone so far
Soon your problems will go away
You'll feel better every day
