A look at Heartland filming locations

According to CBC, Heartland has been shot mostly in and around the High River area in Atlanta, with some of the sequences shot in studios and at the location nearby Calgary. However, a flood in the area in June 2013, the standing set for Maggie’s Diner was damaged. Fortunately, the main sets of Heartland remained safe and the script for season seven was rewritten so as to move the shooting locations from the fictional town of Hudson to Inglewood, which is a historic neighbourhood in Calgary downtown.

Shortly after the floods, Calgary Studios offered a behind the scenes tour for fans who paid for a one–day Heartlanders for High River fundraiser. They were able to raise up to $80,000 which helped the town to recover. Some of the show’s scenes were also filmed at the interiors of an abandoned military base, Currie Barracks.
