Brooks, Agricultural city in southern Alberta, Canada

Brooks extends across 18 square kilometers of grassland terrain, featuring dry mixed grass prairies at an elevation of 760 meters above sea level.

The Canadian Pacific Railway established Brooks as a cattle shipping point in the late 1800s, naming it after division engineer Noel Edgell Brooks.

The population of 14,924 residents includes numerous immigrant and refugee communities, leading to the nickname 'The City of 100 Hellos'.

The JBS Leisure Centre provides residents with an arena, swimming pools, and fitness facilities for year-round recreational activities.

The Brooks Aqueduct stretches three kilometers across the valley, delivering water to support agricultural operations in the surrounding prairie region.
