Every June the residents hold a parade, rodeo and tough truck competition. Hockey is a big sport in Foremost. The local team is called the Foremost Flyers. They have multiple provincial and regional titles. The school has a long history of winning sports teams. The Foremost Falcons and Forettes have won many provincial titles in basketball, volleyball, track and field and cross country running. The village also has a strong arts community presenting community theatre as well as a school dramatic department. {{Citation needed|date=January 2017}}

Drones

Foremost hosts the Foremost Centre for Unmanned Systems at the Foremost Aerodrome. Established by the Canadian Centre for Unmanned Vehicle Systems (CCUVS) in 2008,[4] the Foremost Centre supports training for pilots in Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) flights[5] - the only one in Canada.[6] The location was selected for reasons including number of sunny days, low population density, flat prairie terrain, low number of dwellings and minimal man-made obstructions.[4][5] The site's range stretches across the County of 40 Mile, encompassing almost 700 square nautical miles and reaches up to 18,000 feet above sea level.[5]

The site received Transport Canada's approval as Canada’s "first permanent restricted airspace for Unmanned Air Systems (UAS, drone)" in November, 2016.[7] Drone Delivery Canada began testing at the site in 2017 with the goal of commercially rolling out drone delivery in 2018.[8]

The community, notes mayor Ken Kultgen, expects the Centre "will be used by national and international businesses, universities and manufacturing companies."[9]
