About Falher

Town of Falher - Website
Known as the “Honey Capital of Canada”, Falher is a bilingual-buzzing community located in the Smoky River Region of Alberta’s Peace River Region. Falher was named after a French Missionary, Father Constant Falher, O.M.I. The Colony of Saint Jean Baptiste Falher was established in 1912. After many new settlers arrived in the following years, the colony divided into what is now known as the Village of Donnelly and the Town of Falher. In 1919 (hence the 100th anniversary celebration), Mr. Joseph Lemire and his family bought four acres from Mr. Lamontagne to build their house and sawmill. That same year Falher became a hamlet, received village status in 1929 and was incorporated as a Town in 1955.
Ecole Heritage - The francophone school opened in September 1988 in the small hamlet of Jean-Cote, with its first graduating class in 1992. The school relocated to its present site in Falher in 1997. The school is proud to continue fostering the French language and culture. Website
