Listed as a designated place by Statistics Canada, the hamlet had a population of 63 in the Canada 2006 Census.[1] The hamlet has an outfitting business (for guided hunting), a community centre, and a Church of God. There is a traffic bridge on Highway 3, just west of the hamlet, where residents enjoy swimming in the Red Deer River. Residents of the area also maintain the Erwood Cemetery that exists approximately 1.5 miles from the hamlet.

Church of God

The Church of God in Erwood has been operating since the 1920s. The services were originally conducted in Russian, due to the large number of Belarusian farmers in the area.[2] Today, the services take place on Sunday mornings in English. The church also supports a summer camp at Greenwater Lake Provincial Park.[3]
