Moving in Black Diamond, Alberta: the details that matter
Streets, parking and the truck
Highway 22 and Highway 7 cross at the town, so through traffic passes the edge of the townsite rather than the river streets. The 3 km Friendship Trail links Black Diamond to Turner Valley, and since January 2023 both halves fall under one Diamond Valley bylaw and enforcement office.
The homes and buildings here
Black Diamond covered 6.82 square kilometres with 2,730 residents in 2021, so lots are generous and many older homes have a shop or garage at the back. Newer builds on the higher ground are front-drive two-storeys, while the riverbank houses date to the coal years.
Who moves in Black Diamond
Diamond Valley formed on January 1, 2023 after a merger projected to save about $1 million a year, combining two towns of roughly 2,800 each. Public data shows a mix of Calgary commuters using Highways 22 and 7, older residents from nearby acreages, and long-tenured owners downsizing within town.
One tip for your Black Diamond move
Diamond Valley bills water, sewer, organics and garbage every two months, with the residential rate rising to $278.29 per period in 2026. Call 403-933-4348 or Info@DiamondValley.town before possession to open or transfer the account, since the former Black Diamond office no longer handles it separately.

Not separately. Your drive of 45 minutes from central Calgary sits inside the single truck hour on every quote. So we never bill the drive at the hourly rate in both directions.
